"So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11

In briefly looking into what Scripture tells us of God's word, we have found that it is divinely inspired; furnishes light in darkness; is food for the soul; its precepts are written on the heart; it influences; is a life saving force; a saving power; a defensive weapon; a probing instrument; it gives hope.

In addition Scripture tells us that the word purifies the life and is absolutely trustworthy.
*Concerning purifying life:
In Psalms 119:9 we have a question and an answer, "How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to The word."

Jesus tells the disciples in His farewell discourse, "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." John 15:3

In Jesus' priestly prayer He prays for those the Father has given Him:
"Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by Truth; Your Word is Truth." John 17:17  Amplified Bible

Here the Apostle Paul is speaking of Christ's love for the church, "...and gave Himself up for her; that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word."  Ephesians 5:25-26

In Titus 3:5 Paul puts it this way,
"He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit."

*God's Word is absolutely trustworthy:
"Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised, not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant." 1 Kings 8:56

"The works of His hand are truth and justice; All His precepts are sure (trustworthy)." Psalm 111:7 (Margin note)

Jesus speaking in Matthew 5:18 says,
"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished."

It is stated again in Luke 21:33,
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away."

How grateful we are for God's word! For it contains the message of life to be spoken to all as we see in the following verses (there are many more):
"But the Lord said to me,
'Do not say, 'I am a youth,'
Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak.'" Jeremiah 1:7

"But you shall speak My words to them, whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious" Ezekiel 2:7

"Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this life." Acts 5:20

"These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you." Titus 2:15

My hope is that these brief messages on God's Word have challenged you to study it for it is the word of life and with the Psalmist you will say from the heart, "Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it." Psalm119:140

Thank you Lord for the Bible for it does contain the message of life and all we need to live it. Amen
