God's Word on God's Word


[Blogger's note:  In the devotional text for the day, John 10:31-42 (to read, click here), Jesus asserted this eternal truth:  the Scripture cannot be broken.  Today’s blog post further explores what Scripture says about itself.  With the exception of this introduction, today's blog post consists entirely of the word of God.]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.
[John 1:1-2[

Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.  [Psalm 119:89By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.  [Psalm 33:6]

Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. [Deuteronomy 8:3]  Every word of the Lord is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.  [Proverbs 30:5]  For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.  [Psalm 33:4
]

O Sovereign Lord, you are God!  Your words are trustworthy.  [2 Samuel 7:28The sum of your word is truth.  [Psalm 119:160 (NASB)]  The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.  [Isaiah 40:8]

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."  [John 1:14]

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.  [Hebrews 1:3]

Scripture cannot be broken.  [John 10:35Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law of the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.  I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.  [Matthew 5:17-18It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.  [Luke 16:17


The word of the Lord endures forever.  [1 Peter 1:25Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.  [Matthew 24:35The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.  [John 6:63]


God's word is not chained.  [2 Timothy 2:9]  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.  [2 Timothy 3:16-17For 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.  [Hebrews 4:12]

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.  He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.  [Revelation 19:13]

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.  [John 17:17]

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.  Remain in me, and I will remain in you.  [John 15:3-4]  For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God  [1 Peter 1:23]

When you received the word of God ... you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.  [1 Thessalonians 2:13]  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.  [2 Peter 1:20]


Blessed ... are those who hear the word of God, and obey it.  Luke 11:28  Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.  [John 14:21]

Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.  We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.  [John 6:68-69]
