We hear more and more of God’s Word being only a book of fanciful stories. Some claim there was never a flood upon the earth, and when we die we are as the dog Rover, dead all over. Satan’s lies are designed to destroy our faith in Truth, the infallible Word of God. The fact is they are trying to dethrone God. It is their aim to destroy all belief in Him, and to enthrone themselves. God’s Word says differently.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35
“For the Word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in Truth. Psalms 33:4
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 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.” II Timothy 3:16
“For the Word of God is quick, 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.” Hebrews 4:12
“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.” John 16:13
“God’s Word has been accused of being wrong, but the wrong was in the eyes that beheld it and the ears that heard it and the heart that considered it – not in the Word itself. “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” Romans 7:12
The Bible has been here too long to become outmoded. The things that are right and practical are here to stay, like the Bible and the multiplication table – they are not in danger of becoming obsolete. Our fathers needed the Word. We need it. Our posterity shall need it.” ~ Leroy Brownlow
“Last eve I paused beside the blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time
“How many anvils have you had, ‘said I,
‘To wear and batter all these hammers so?’
‘Just one,’ said he, and then with twinkling eye,
‘The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.’
“And so, I thought, The Anvil of God’s Word
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone.” ~ Attributed to John Clifford
“But the Word of the Lord endureth for ever . . . .” I Peter 1:25
God’s Word is sure and has been fought against since time began. But, His Word still stands today, and those that belittled, mocked and ridiculed its precepts, promises, Words of wisdom, and comfort, have passed on to their reward, and any today that fight against Him, His Infallible Word, will pass on to their reward as well, and His Word will still be standing.
“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the Words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the Words of this Law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” ~ Deuteronomy 32:46-47
