“… he that believeth not God hath made him a liar …” (1 Jn 5:10).

“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” (Rom 3:4).

The following is said about Abraham: “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” (Rom 4:3; Gal 3:6). Abraham is the best example of the true faith: True faith is only possible when God can speak to each and every one personally through His Word. Unbelief is caused by allowing the enemy to question what God has said in His Word. Faith as well as unbelief already began in paradise. After the LORD God had spoken to Adam, Satan roped Eve into a discussion about what God had said. Satan always takes what God has said, sows doubt, adds, takes away, twists, interprets. The result was unbelief, which led to disobedience and eventually to the beguilement into the fall. Satan also approached our Redeemer with the argument: “It is written …” That is the actual temptation. Temptation, beguilement, and transgression are only ever possible when the Word of God is called into question. But the LORD replied to him, “It is also written …” (Mt 4:1-11; Mk 4:1-13). This can also be the case with theologians: The subject may be biblical, but what is said about it can be the opposite. When someone takes a Scripture and presents doubt, then it is the enemy who wants to turn it into a temptation, which leads to the fall. True children of God always consult the next corresponding Scripture that illuminates the subject clearly.
