Rev. 19: 9b- "These are the true words of God!"
Is there any thing in this life that you can truly count on? Is there any thing that you can know for sure? Can you fully trust the words of someone, or is there anyone that is fully trust worthy? The words of a man may or may not be true. Even those you have full confidence in and deeply love can tell you something that finds itself to be a deceit. Not so with the words of God. God is truth, and cannot lie, therefore He can always be depended upon. If God speaks it, it can be treated as steadfast and sure. It is unmovable and solemn. It is never in need of doubt. Gods words are divine words. They are infallible, inspired, unquestionable and according to this verse, "the sayings of God Himself". In reality, Gods words are the same as God Himself. There is no difference in the character and nature and essence of God and the words that He utters. If God was to lie, He would cease to be God, because there is no untruth in Him. What could you possible use as a guide for your life if the words of God were not the standard to judge all other words?
In the book of Genesis, God made a covenant with Abraham and swore the oath by Himself to uphold it's conditions. He did so because there is no greater or higher authority than God Himself. His words were guaranteed by His being and His name sake. When all else fails in life, when there is no solid ground to stand on, when you are unsure as to what to trust or who to turn, you can always receive the words of God with assurance. They will produce confidence within you and rest for the heart. There is majesty and power, marvelous omniscience in the Words of God. Never in life is there one to be fully trusted more than that of God. Abandon yourself in His Words. Know with confidence that you can fully submit, commit, and proclaim with boldness all that God says because they truly "are the words of God".
