He is True

Do you believe in absolute truth? Do you believe that something can be true no matter what? If you do, you’re in the minority! According to a 2020 Barna Group research study, 58% of American adults believe that truth depends on the individual, and that even includes people who claim to be born-again Christians.[1] The majority of Americans believe that moral truth is relative. They believe there are no absolute truths, which is ironic because by saying there are no absolute truths, one is admitting that there actually is at least one. We, as Christians, should believe that there are absolute moral truths because we have the Source of absolute truth-

He is Patient

We know very well what impatience is because we live in a culture of instant gratification. We get impatient when the driver in front of us isn’t paying attention to the traffic light. We get impatient when the person before us in the grocery store check-out line has way more than the ten-item limit. We even get impatient when our internet takes more than a couple seconds to load something! This impatience often leads to us getting angry and irritated. That’s why the Bible sometimes describes patience as being “slow to anger.”

Thankfully, our God is never impatient with us. He is always patient and always slow to anger towards His children-

He is Gracious

There once was a kid named John. John was a rule-breaker. He cheated on tests. He lied to his parents. He was mean to the kids he didn’t like. One day, as John was walking around the video game store, he saw a game that he’d been wanting to get for WEEKS, but he didn’t have enough money for it. So, he grabbed the game, looked around to see if anyone was watching, and ran out the door. But John was caught. His father was called to pick him up. John apologized to his father, not only for his theft but for his other sins as well, and his father forgave him without chastising or berating him. He paid for the stolen game and took John home. Instead of making John pay him back for the game, he let him keep the game for free. Then, he took John to Disney World for a week. While many would say this is poor discipline or bad parenting, others could call it grace.

He is Faithful

Every year wedding bells ring for millions of American adults. These men and women vow to love and cherish their new spouses until death parts them. If you’ve been to a wedding ceremony, you know how beautiful and meaningful they truly are. Unfortunately, many American adults don’t keep these precious vows. The American Psychological Association reports that forty to fifty percent of married couples who live in the U.S. will divorce. (1) Human beings are imperfect, which means that many will not be faithful towards others. People can be unfaithful by lying to or abandoning a spouse, friend, or child. They can even be unfaithful in their job or other activities. Humans are unfaithful. But Paul’s second letter to Timothy reminds us of an important and encouraging truth-

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful…” 1 Timothy 2:13a
