The Enduring Word of God

God's Word is the same now as when it made Jesus of Nazareth the character He was. It is the same now as when He said, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." It is the same as when He prayed, "Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy Word is truth." It is the same as when Paul declared: "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified." It is the same as when the same apostle said: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God [God-breathed], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, . . . Preach the Word." It is the same as when another wrote: "For the Word of God is quick [living], and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Blessed is the man who builds on the Word; for "the Word of the Lord endureth forever."
