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!
