1. Because of what it is. Jehovah says it is “My Word” (Isa. 55:11). It is His Word because He is its Author, because it reveals Himself through it, and it is His message to us.
2. Because of what it promises. “I will hasten My Word to perform it” (Jer. 1:12; 29:10). His promises are cheques payable to bearer, cashed by faith, and enjoyed in communion with Himself.
3. Because of what it does. “Is not My Word like as a fire?” (Jer. 23:28, 29). As fire burns and warms, so the Lord’s Word warms the heart of the saint to his blessing, and scorches the sinner to his undoing.
4. Because of what it commands. “Walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, and keep all My commandments” (1 Kings 6:11, 12). Mark the “If” of command, coupled with the promise, “I will perform My Word.” Precepts obeyed secure pledges given.
5. Because of what it reveals. “He that heareth My Word” (John 5:24). This great verse reveals God’s love in sending Christ; life is given to those who believe on Christ, the believer is passed out of death into life, those who have life “shall not come into condemnation,” and are assured by Christ of their personal safety.
6. Because of what it contains. Christ again and again speaks of the message He brings as “My Word” (John 5:24; 8:31, 37, 43; Rev. 3:8, 10). This specific covers all He said as “The Word.”
7. Because of what His Words impart. Ponder the following passages where Christ speaks of “My Words,” and it will be found by means of them, He gives reliability—Matt. 24:35; life—John 6:63; salvation—John 12:47, 48; revelation—John 14:10; His presence—John 14:23; and promise of answered prayer—John 15:7.
“Believe His words,
His words are life and beauty,
His words command thy duty,
Believe His words.”
I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS QUICK STUDY TO BE A HELPFUL REFRESHER.
