God is….true


There seem to be two themes to this one. 

The first theme is that God is the only "real" God.  (Highlighted in yellow)

The second is that God never lies, He is true.  (Highlighted in green) 


2 Samuel 7:28-29(NKJV)
“And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. 
Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord GOD, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

2 Chronicles 15:3(NKJV)
For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; 

Nehemiah 9:13(NKJV)
    “You came down also on Mount Sinai,      And spoke with them from heaven,     And gave them just ordinances and true laws,     Good statutes and commandments.
(Not sure which color to use on this one.  I would lean towards yellow because I see "true laws" as being similar to "true God")

Jeremiah 10:10(NKJV)
    But the Lord is the true God;     He is the living God and the everlasting King.     At His wrath the earth will tremble,      And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.


Luke 16:11(NKJV)
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 

John 4:23(NKJV)
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 


John 17:3(NKJV)
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 


1 Thessalonians 1:9(NKJV)
For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 


1 John 5:20(NKJV)
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Revelation 22:6(NKJV)
Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

So how do either of these themes help us?

I would say that the yellow verses can all give us confidence that we worship the one true God and that no we don't all worship the same god as many others would claim. 

The green verses would be good verses to memorize to build our confidence that God always fulfills His promises!
