Proverbs 22:21

That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?

Ver. 21. That I might make thee know the certainty.] And so find firm footing for thy faith. Luke 1:3 ; Luk 1:5 "These words of God are true," saith the angel. Rev 21:5 These words are "faithful and true" Rev 22:6 - void of all insincerity and falsehood. How can it be otherwise, whenas they are, as Gregory a speaks, Cor et anima, the very heart and soul of the God of truth? There must needs be a certainty in these words of truth, neither need we hang in suspense. When some took Christ for John Baptist, some for Elias, some for Jeremiah; But "whom say ye that I am?" Mat 16:14-15 - to teach that Christ would not have men stand doubtful, halt between two, be in religion as beggars are in their way, ready to go which way soever the staff falleth; but to "search the Scriptures," and grounding thereon, to get a certainty, a "full assurance of understanding," Col 2:2 so as to be able to say, "We have believed, therefore have we spoken." 2Co 4:13
