The Word Of God
God’s Written Word, the Bible, is the basis and foundation for this entire book. Everything written in this book is based on Truth as recorded in God’s Word. The Bible is God’s written record, account, and revelation to mankind of Himself.
There are many portions of Scripture from the Bible used in this book. They appear in bold faced type throughout this book. As you reread it, pay special attention to the Words from the Bible, God’s Word. Here are some things the Bible says about itself:
“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
“From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
The men whom God chose to write and speak the Word of God, were actually carried along by the Holy Spirit, and He breathed His Words right into them. The Bible is the Word of God, not the word of man, and even though God used human instruments to record His Word, It will never pass away. It is Eternal, just as God is Eternal.
“Your Word, O LORD, is Eternal; It stands firm in the Heavens.”
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away.”
“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands Forever."
"Every Word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.”
“For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
