God's Truth is Absolute
Paul establishes a foundational principle: God's truth and faithfulness are absolute, even if every human were to prove false. Commentators describe this as a 'primary axiom' of faith. This means that no matter how much people fail, lie, or disbelieve, it never nullifies God's character or His promises. This truth should be a fixed anchor for believers, providing stability and confidence regardless of circumstances or human behavior.
