Notes from bible study in Maryland

There is no one greater than God. Therefore, He gives His oath and swears by Himself. This makes His promises as great as He is.

There is no need for us to go outside God's word. We can not make suppositions and assumptions about the will of God. Any ideas we may have about what may be are inferior to what really is.

1. God can not lie - Hebrews 6:18

- Anything that falsifies the Word is not from God.

2. God knows all things - Hebrews 4:13

- Anything that implies God does not know something is against doctrine.

3. God's Word is truth - John 17:17

- God can not be wrong.

Because of these things, we can believe God's promises. Only on Him can we place our trust. Only by His Word and His Word only can we discover sound doctrine.
