Confidence in God’s Word (Part-1)
‘…Your Word is
truth.’ John 17:17 NIV
Today’s Insight
When your ‘back is
against the wall’, where can you turn to find strength? Awash in a sea of moral
and ethical questions, where can you go to find a reliable compass?
Chuck
Swindoll says: ‘There can be no more reliable authority than God’s Word. This
timeless, trustworthy source holds the key that unlocks life’s mysteries. It
alone provides us with the shelter we need in times of storm.’
Why does it
qualify as our final authority?
(1) God’s 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…That’s what the Bible’s about… it provides us
with the constant and the needed support.
(2) God’s Book is God’s 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 Thessalonians 2:13 NKJV).
Consider
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 God’s 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) God’s Word endures. There are only two eternal
things on earth today: people and God’s 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 (2 Peter 3:7-12). God’s Book ‘stands forever’ (1 Peter 1:25 NIV).
