I LIE NOT

Galations 1:20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

Paul was emphasising the truth of his message to the Galations. He was stating with God as his witness that he was telling them the truth. What was this message that was so important for him to place this emphasis on telling the truth. Read the rest of this chapter from the beginning when you have the chance.
Paul was a messenger sent by God. It was a message to all who would hear him. It was a message of grace through Jesus Christ.
The message was a message of salvation. It was a message of peace. Not world peace that people are clamoring for in the world today but an inner peace that can only come from God and His marvelous grace.
Paul's message was delivered according to God's will. He spoke what God wanted him to speak, to whom God wanted him to speak. How could he lie? It was a message to glorify God.
How tragic it would have been if Paul had not spoken the truth. How tragic it is when we fail to spread this truth. How selfish and destructive it would have been if he had not spoken at all and had kept the message to himself. How selfish and destructive it is if we fail to continue to share the message.
