OUTLINE:

God Never Fails
If His intention is to reveal Himself to His creatures (that is what the Bible says), then do you know what? God reveals Himself to His creatures…PERIOD! No man has ever not known of His existence (Ro 1:20).

The Inerrant Word
The Bible is the Word of God. It must be taken for exactly that, nothing less. As soon as man tries to reduce its perfectness, it is no longer the inspired Word by definition, but rather something pliable. (cp. Heb 13:8)

The Inerrant Word
Do you really think that God would give us His Word, demand obedience to it, and then turn around and say, “Well, good luck with that because it’s only man’s estimation of my will???” That would be cruel, something God isn’t. God is love.

Purity Begins With Inerrancy
The inerrant Word of God gives us our “primary colors”. It also ensures us that any “secondary, tertiary, and so on” colors are consistently synthesized from person to person. If we doubt the “primaries”, we will never unify. (ref. Eph 4:11-16)

The Inerrant Word
When you fully accept that the Bible is the perfect expression of God, who cannot lie and whose will is to justify, sanctify, and glorify you, your faith becomes like “the author and perfecter’s” (Heb 12:2), Rock-solid.

God is good.
God knows good.

Gen 1:31a
God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.

Perfection
The beauty of perfection is that you can trust it.

The Oldest Trick…
The oldest trick in the book (literally) is the one that the first two humans fell for in the Garden - question God’s perfect goodness, His veracity (inability to lie), His lovingkindness, His truth.

Ways We Fall For the Oldest Trick
- We grope for self-made “blessings” instead of waiting on God’s timing
- We willfully disobey the Word
- We “justify” ungodliness by perverting “primary colors”
- We premeditate all of the above and much, much more!

“Avoid such men as these.”
Make sure YOU aren’t one of the “men” in question! This warning may be to your “new self” as you look in the mirror.

The “Good” Litmus Test
It is very sobering to analyze our own definitions for “good”. We might quickly realize that what we think and even act upon as “good” really isn’t. A good litmus test is to observe what we esteem/celebrate in ourselves/others.
