I must believe whatever God has revealed because God is the very truth, and can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Catholic faith rests ultimately on the trustworthiness of God Himself. Human beings can make mistakes, misunderstand facts, or even intentionally deceive others. God, however, is perfect truth. Because He knows all things perfectly and possesses absolute goodness, He can never lie or be mistaken. When God reveals something for our salvation, Christians can accept it with complete confidence. This certainty does not arise from our own intelligence but from Gods authority. Even when certain teachings are difficult to understand, believers trust the God who has revealed them. The act of faith is therefore an act of trust in Gods wisdom, goodness, and truthfulness. Believing what God has revealed draws us into a deeper relationship with Him and allows us to build our lives on a foundation that cannot fail.
What moves us to believe is not the fact that revealed truths appear as true and intelligible in the light of our natural reason, but the authority of God himself who reveals them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. God is the fullness of Truth.
Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago.
