WHY YOU CAN DEPEND ON GODS WORD!..(part 1) When your back is against the wall, where can you turn to find strength? where can you go to find a reliable compass?One author says: There can be no more reliable authority than Gods Word. This timeless, trustworthy source holds the key that unlocks lifes mysteries. It alone provides us with the shelter we need in times of storm. Why does [it] qualify as our final authority? 1) Gods Word is Truth. Jesus said as He prayed to the Father, Your word is truth. Real truth you can rely on that ll never shrivel up, turn sour, backfire or mislead. Thats what the Bibles about. It provides us with the constant and the needed support. 2) Gods Book is Gods voice. Paul writes, ...You received the Word of God...not as the word of men, but as...the Word of God, which...effectively works in you who believe (1 Thess 2:13). Think of it this way. If the Lord were to return to earth and speak, His message would tie in exactly with what you see in Scripture-His opinion, counsel, commands, desires, and warnings. When you rely on Gods voice you have a sure foundation. Truth that can be trusted, power that imparts new life and releases grace by which you can grow in faith and commitment. 3) Gods Word endures. There are only two eternal things on earth today ; people and Gods Word. Everything else will ultimately be burned up. Stuff we place on the shelf, things we put frames around, trophies and whatnots we shine and love to show off ; all headed for the final bonfire but Gods Word stands forever!
