In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began (Titus 1:2).
We read this passage and say, “Well, of
course God does not lie.” But when we
read a bit more carefully we see that Paul has
said that He cannot lie.
The character of God, being infinitely good,
precludes Him from ever lying. This is a
tremendous encouragement particularly as
the apostle brings to our minds God’s promise
of eternal life. The passage gives us insight
into a time before time when the mind of God
made His promise. The promise of eternal life
comes to us today through the preaching of
His Word, the saving gospel of Christ.
