VI. TITLE:
GOD is Truth And Every Human Being A Liar
VII. EXPLICATION: (Source: Summarized Bible under e-sword)
A. Contents: The common guilt of both Jew and Gentile. Justification by faith, not by the law.
B. Characters: God, Jesus.
C. Conclusion: The sum of all sin is coming short of the glory of God for which we were created—therefore all the world stands guilty before God, unable by any works to gain acceptance with God. Justification before God is resolved thereby purely into the free grace of God through Jesus Christ to all who will receive it as a free gift.
D. Key Word: All under sin, Romans 3:9.
E. Strong Verses: Romans 3:4, Romans 3:10, Romans 3:11, Romans 3:12, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:22, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:24, Romans 3:25, Romans 3:26
F. Striking Facts: Romans 3:22. The gospel excludes none that do not exclude themselves by refusing to appropriate the finished work of Jesus Christ. The best brand of self-righteousness will not stand before God. We must wear the righteousness which God has ordained and which is brought in by His Son. All men alike are welcome to God through Jesus Christ. He has but one plan of salvation.

VIII. MAIN BODY:
Romans 3:4 By no means! Let God be found true though every human being is false {and} a liar, as it is written, That You may be justified {and} shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail when You are judged [by sinful men].
A. GOD is All Truth
"By no means! Let God be found true"
GOD is All Truth and can be trusted as Truth in all it's forms. Even JESUS is the Personalized Embodiment of Truth.
True came from the Greek word:"alethes" meaning true, and Truth came from the Greek word:"aletheia" which means truth.
That's why Pontius Pilate (in human terms is trying JESUS) but when Pontius Pilate as Governor and Judge in that time came to face to face with the Truth, he's the one being tried. He asked the wrong question, because he can't accept JESUS CHRIST as All Truth right there in front of him. He must have asked "Who is Truth?" and the LORD JESUS CHRIST will answer "I AM" but he asked the wrong question, "What is truth?"
John 18:38 Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him.
But Pontius Pilate crucified JESUS CHRIST as a human being that is not guilty but he failed to realize that he crucified the VERY TRUTH.
Luke 24:20 And how our chief priests and rulers gave Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
1 Corinthians 2:8 None of the rulers of this age {or} world perceived {and} recognized {and} understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
As you might say that Pontius Pilate has no choice, because he was pre-destined to be the executioner that will pronounced JESUS as guilty, no scriptures like that, we know there are scriptures for Judas to do that, but on Pontius Pilate there's nothing. Even so, everyone has a choice, even Judas has a choice, as also John the baptist, has a choice not to baptized Jesus BUT Jesus's will needed to be obeyed rather than criticized because HE'S GOD.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).
Matthew 3:14 But John protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?
Matthew 3:15 But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted Him.
Matthew 10:4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
Mark 3:19 And Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed Him.
The Scriptures or the WORD OF GOD knows the hearts of all men for it is the very WORD OF GOD, that's why, it says in past tense "betrayed" Judas is the written one person that is going to betray JESUS but what is revealed here is Judas's heart
2 Timothy 3:16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof {and} conviction of sin, for correction of error {and} discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),
Illustration: There are times that I speak a lot on my worship/devotion/quiet times with GOD, because I pray out loud for me and my family, but there are times as well that I am "interrupted" by GOD because He's instructing me something and He does not want me to miss His Way, so I shut up. In this because all my thoughts and plans are surrendered to GOD and not my will but only His Will.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Proverbs 16:1 THE PLANS of the mind {and} orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue.
Proverbs 16:3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established {and} succeed.
Proverbs 16:9 A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps {and} makes them sure.
Proverbs 19:21 Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.
B. Mankind are all liars
"though every human being is false {and} a liar,"
Liar came from the Greek word:"pseustes" meaning falsifier, liar. It is the opposite of truth. When we lie we work like the enemy.
John 8:44 You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts {and} gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies {and} of all that is false.
Ephesians 4:15 Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way {and} in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
We wanted to live like JESUS here on earth, so we want to speak the truth at all times, even during these sinful and crooked times, we hurt others when we speak the truth, because all of us are liars we are always accustomed to hearing lies and we want to hear lies rather than the truth.
Illustration: When a security guard saw me one day said to me "You became fat" somehow my ears tingled because I wanted to hear the "opposite" instead of the truth. So I've took the advise and in my mind I've decided I need to cut on foods and focus more on my exercises. There are people who will tell the truth even if it means that he will hurt someone else or it will mean trouble for them, I like that. I share GOD'S WORDS even if it hurts for I know the LORD JESUS will set us free from any bondage we have because He's all Truth.
John 8:32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
So the key is knowing JESUS. Know in this verse John 8:32 came from the Greek word"ginosko" meaning know, feel, be aware, be sure, understand, perceive.
As long as we come to know, feel, be aware, understand the LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE as Truth will set us free from any bondage. There's an effort here.
Illustration: Like for example if you are still in bondage to vices of smoking, that vice never developed just one day and you're an addict, no, it developed all through the years, and it was introduced to your body "once" when you tried it, tasted it, became accustomed to it, that's why, the LORD JESUS will replace that vice with Himself, let Him do it, give time to know, try, taste and become accustomed with the LORD JESUS and you won't even recognized that you already left smoking years ago, that's how it works. JESUS CHRIST never came here to be crucified, died and rise again for no reason at all, it was for us to get delivered from all these vices, not us, but the TRUTH will set us free, not another new year's resolution, keep on feeding the TRUTH with the TRUTH, that's His WORDS.
Develop a daily relationship with the LORD JESUS He does not want any religion but a relationship with Him.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in {and} through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by {and} in which we must be saved.
John 17:3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true {and} real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.
We can have and experience eternal life here on earth, as we continue to everyday perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand the TRUTH in our lives by His WORDS, that's what GOD wanted us to have with Him and with the LORD JESUS CHRIST as Personal Embodiment of ALL TRUTH in our lives.
Accept that we are all sinners and accept the TRUTH in our lives.
Romans 3:23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor {and} glory which God bestows {and} receives.
Romans 10:9 Because if you acknowledge {and} confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) {and} confirms [his] salvation.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are GOD's Truth, to be trusted as ALL Truth, to be tasted as ALL Truth, and to have a relationship with You as ALL TRUTH in my life and you gave me freedom.
