Date: Sunday,  20^th September 2015

LESSON THREE

MEMORY VERSE: ”God is not a man, that he should lie; neither
 the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not
 do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”- Numbers 23:19

BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 18:9-14

INTRODUCTION:

Integrity is the quality of being honest and upright in character.
It is adherence  to moral and ethical principles. It is simply means
saying what you will do and doing what you say (Numbers 23:19). There are fundamental questions to be asked about the
integrity of God. Who is God? How Reliable are His words
 or promises? Does He have the capacity to do what He has said?
Are there testimonies to this fact?

LESSON OUTLINES

1. THE UNCHAGEABLE GOD AND HIS WORD
2. THE TESTIMONIES OF HIS INTEGRITY

THE UNCHAGEABLE GOD AND HIS WORD

God is unchangeable (Malachi 3:6a). He also upholds His
integrity through His words because:

1. His word is true (John 17:17)
2. His word is certain (Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:89)
3. His word is pure (Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 12:6)
4. His word is life(John 6:63)
5. His word is quick and powerful (Hebrews 4:12)
6. His word is yea and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20)

THE TESTIMONIES OF HIS INTEGRITY

Our God remains the same yesterday, today and forever. Whatever
He has done before He can do again. There are testimonies in the
Bible that confirms His integrity.

1. God promised to make Abraham the father of many nations
   and He fulfilled it(Genesis 17:4-5; Romans 4:17)
2. God spoke about the captivity of the Israelites in a strange
    land and their deliverance after four hundred years
   (Genesis 15:13; Exodus 12:40-41).
3. God promised to establish the throne of David through his seeds
   (2 Samuel 7:12-16;1 Kings 1:48).
4. God showed to Joseph a vision of his greatness and He fulfilled i
   (Genesis 37:6-7; 41:39-41)
5. Jesus talked about “the temple” that will be destroyed and rebuilt
   after three days (John 2:19; 1Corithians 15:4)

CONCLUSION

God cannot be bound by His word if the terms and condition
are not fulfilled by man (1 Samuel 2:27-30; 3:12-13).
