Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
When you seal a deed or bond, you pledge your word that it is true and binding; believing the Gospel does exactly that. You vouch for God's veracity, you make His truth your own, and you stake your life on His faithfulness to His promises and His threatenings. Every Christian becomes a witness that God is true.
AI summary
To believe the Gospel is simply to assent to what God has revealed, and faith must rest entirely on His words, not on numbers or the world's opinion. Since God cannot lie, faith cannot waver; it corresponds to His truth, which is free from all doubt. Nothing honors Him more than this acknowledgment of His truthfulness, and nothing insults Him more than to disbelieve it.
