📖 Biblical Definition
El-Emet (אֵל אֱמֶת) — "God of Truth" — is the divine name David invokes in Psalm 31:5: "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth." These are also the words Christ took on His own lips at Calvary (Luke 23:46). The name names God as the LORD who is Truth itself — whose every word is faithful, whose covenant cannot fail, whose promises do not return void. He is not merely truthful; He is Truth. In an age of doctored news, gaslit institutions, and pronouns, the saints find their footing here: the God of Truth keeps the spirits of those who commit themselves to Him.
📜 Webster 1828 Definition

Truth is not measured against God; God is the measure of truth. His word does not become true—it is true because He spoke it, and He cannot lie.

The lie of our age is that truth is constructed by the speaker. Each finds his own truth, and all truths are equal. This is rebellion dressed as humility.
El-Emet stands against this. There is one Truth and He has a name, and He has spoken, and He cannot lie.
