Psalm 18:30 – As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is refined; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Isaiah 46:9–11 – Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My plan will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’; 11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a distant country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, I will certainly do it.
Is God perfect? Should we believe that? We all either believe that or we don’t. Well we either believe that scripture is the inerrant Word of God or not. We either believe that God has given His Word to us or not. Now we know that there are many “non-believers and scholars” who believe that the scripture is not inerrant. I won’t get deep into that at this time. But I will say that my experience is that those who think the Bible is a gift from God and so is inerrant live with more faith, joy and love than those who don’t. My question is if one does not believe that all the Bible is entirely the inspired word of God, then how on earth does one believe in any of it. If some parts of the Bible are wrong, then which are and which are not and who gets to make that determination? The whole thing quickly crumbles unless one simply believes all of it and in Him.
The first church I attended was a smaller church, but packed with Bible believing, Christ following believers who emanated the love of God. At that church I remember them handing out a bumper sticker that read “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.” I put the sticker on the back window of my old truck where it remains today. That declaration remains in me. If it’s in the Bible, then I believe it beyond anything I can think or imagine it. Yes, it’s simple, but the Lord God has purposely made it simple for us. Not easy, but simple. (See Micah 6:8 – He has shown you, Oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”) Family and Friends, simply believe. Doing that we will simply live in His joy.
The scriptures declare that God is perfect in every way. (Deuteronomy 32:4) If something is perfect it has no flaws and is complete and lacks nothing. Therefore something perfect is only perfect only as long as it remains unchanged. A completely white page can have no color added to it. If a single drop of blue is added, it is no longer a perfectly white page. It is completely changed. Perfect cannot have anything added or taken away from it or it will be changed from perfect. Perfect cannot change. It cannot become more perfect or a little less perfect and remain perfect or it never was perfect. But something that is perfect cannot, in truth, have anything taken from it because it is perfect and nothing can remove any part of it. Something perfect must be wholly able to protect itself and keep its perfection or it would not be perfect. If something is actually perfect then it always will be because inherent in perfection is unchanging immortality. So of course God is perfect, He can be nothing else. If God is not perfect then He is not God, but He is perfect and is the only true God.
One cannot believe only what one chooses about God and it actually be God if it differs from the Word of God. If we are able to pick and choose who God is then ipso facto it is not God, instead we would make ourselves out to be a god, but none of us are perfect so we could not be God. God cannot change and we cannot change Him because He is perfect because He is God. He is who and what He is and always has been, in entirety and that into an eternity beyond the vanishing point in the past.
Since God is perfect, He can reveal to us perfectly and simply who He is and what He has required of us. He can make what is infinitely complex into something that we can simply understand. He is God who created all of us and who sent His Son to save all of us who have been stained by the sin of the ancestor of all of us. Because of that stain only God could save us and so He sent His Son, He sent Himself, to be everything we need to be reunited with God, for Him to be everything we need to know about God. For all who want to know about God needs only to heed the words of Jesus and live with Him every day. Live with Jesus and live with God. Know Jesus and know God. Know God and know perfection. Know perfection from God and thereby increasingly know God. We never know everything about God but we can ever learn about Him. He simply will teach us. (John 14:26) God’s plan to return us all to Him through Jesus is perfect. Of course. Praise the Lord!
Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear me.
Micah 6:8 – He has shown you, Oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Numbers 6:24-26 – The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
