IN His Image Chap 9 . God most truthful .

Genesis 3:10 - 12 10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Proverbs 12;22 The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. Romans 1;25 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Proverbs 14;12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Jeremiah 17;9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Psalm 51;6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. 1 Timothy 3;15 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s househol

God Most loving 1 Corinthians 13;4 -8 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.1-3 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. Romans 5;8 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
