We know God's commands are true through His authority and the evidence of His faithfulness in scripture.
God's commands are rooted in His sovereignty and unchanging nature, which assures us of their truth. In Luke 5:5, Peter recognizes Jesus' authority by addressing Him as 'Master', reflecting a relationship built on respect and trust. Though Peter's experience as a fisherman suggested failure, he submitted to Jesus' command, exemplifying faith that God’s ways are superior to ours. Scripture is filled with examples of God fulfilling His promises and commands, reaffirming that obedience leads to blessings and spiritual growth. Therefore, our compliance with God's commands is a trust in His wisdom and plans, demonstrated throughout biblical history.
