God cannot lie. Paul, you remember in the epistle to the Romans, made that abundantly clear. And I think sometimes we believers almost make God out a liar by the lives we live. We say we believe something, and we really don't believe that. And we act as if we don't believe it. Even God cannot do certain things. Here's one of them. God cannot lie. Why can't He lie? God must be true to Himself. He's holy, He is righteous, and that's His nature. And there are certain things He can't do because of His nature. It's not because of the fact that it would be an impossibility. But God is true to His nature, and His nature is that He's righteous and He's just.
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
