Deny God’s Promise, Destroy His Character
God has sworn by Himself—His Word is unbreakable, His promises cannot fail. Everything He has revealed about His love, justice, mercy, and sovereignty depends on this certainty.
But what happens if we deny His promise? If we say His Word is not true for all, then we unravel His very character. His love becomes unreliable, His justice inconsistent, His mercy selective, and His sovereignty weak. If His Word can fail, then so can He.
This is not merely a theological question—it is a reckoning with the nature of God Himself. Either His Word stands firm, or His character collapses into contradiction. If God is true, then His promises must be true for all, without exception.
You must decide: Will you affirm His unshakable truth, or deny His promise and destroy His character in your mind?

Stand Firm in What God Has Sworn
There is no escaping the reality before you. Either God’s Word is true for all, or everything about Him collapses.
If you deny His promise, you declare His love conditional, His mercy limited, His justice flawed, and His sovereignty breakable. If His Word is uncertain, so is His faithfulness. If His promise is not absolute, then neither is His nature. To doubt His Word is to dismantle His very character.
But if His Word stands, then His love never fails, His mercy endures forever, His justice is perfect, and His sovereignty is unchallenged. His promises are certain, and His victory is complete.
The choice is inescapable:
Will you stand firm in the truth of His promise, or deny it and destroy His character?
There is no middle ground. His Word will not return void. His Kingdom will never end. Where do you stand?
