11. the truth of God, is His veracity or faithfulness Ps. 71 or His revealed will Ps. 26
To do truth is to practice what God commands.
Jesus personifies truth. It is who He is. There is no falsehood in Him. There is no contradiction in Him. He is faithful, trustworthy, honest, good, and there is no one like Him. And yet He is about the business of conforming us into His likeness. Are you looking more and more like the Lord Jesus in your thoughts, your speaking, your attitudes, your actions? We have so much to look forward to in Christ. The conforming journey is an adventure that Jesus will bring us through triumphantly. He has said He will present us before God to stand in His presence holy, blameless and with great joy.
all for the praise of His glory!
