 "question": "What is the veracity of God?",
 "answer": "Veracity is God's devotion to the truth or truthfulness (Psalm 33:4). Because God is Truth itself, He always acts in veracity and in faithfulness toward man.\n\nIt is impossible for God to lie (Titus 1:2). Consequently, every word He speaks to us is true, and we can always depend on His Word.\n\nThe Bible serves as God’s revelation of truth to man (John 17:17).",
