Let God Be True


Romans 3:3 KJV
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

This passage is, of course, speaking about the Jews. Since the Jews were God's chosen people, and since Jesus came first to the Jews, could it be that since they did not as a whole receive Christ as Saviour that the doctrine of Christ as Saviour is errant?

Paul's answer is resolute; …let God be true and every man a liar….

In our day the doctrines we preach and live for seem to be growing less and less accepted. Men and women buy into almost anything religiously, except the kind of faith that we who are fundamental Baptists cling too. Yea, even among the fundamental Baptists there seems to be a swing toward more modern views of worldliness. The power of Christ to save has been substituted for a businessman's approach to performing the work of God.

Does this mean we should cave in and accept the inevitable?
Do we join in with the throngs who want religion but want to have it in man's power?
Do we substitute submission to Christ for apparent success in numbers?

God forbid: yea, Let God be true and every man a liar....
