Plain And Precious Word Of God

Plain And Precious Word Of God

There are those who claim  that many plain and precious things  have been taken out  of the word of God.     That claim plants seeds of doubt  in the minds of many,  as they imagine  that people need to find  all that has been taken out  of the Bible,  so that they can know  what God really wants  to teach us.

Is God Almighty that weak?     Is the Creator and Redeemer  unable  to keep His word intact  for us down through the ages?     It is nothing short of blasphemy  to claim  that God has not kept all of His word  safe and sound  for us  down through the ages.    How can we be so sure?     The Bible  (God Himself ) assures us.

As the one and only  eternal God,  our Lord  assures us,

Deuteronomy 4:35
To you  it was shown  that you might know  that the LORD,  He is God;  there is no other besides Him.

Isaiah 44:6
Thus says the LORD,  the King of Israel
And his Redeemer,  the LORD of hosts;
I am the first  and I am the last,
And there is no God  besides Me.

This eternal,  one and only LORD  assures us  that His word  is eternal,

1 Peter 1:25
But  the word  of the LORD  abides forever.     And this is the word  which was preached to you.

So,  all of God’s word  that has been preached  through the prophets  of the Old Testament  and the disciples  of the New Testament  is the word that  “abides forever“.     False preachers will twist it into false doctrines, but if we stick to the Bible,  we can be assured  that we have the  “word of the LORD“  that  “abides forever“.     We simply don’t  have to look  for some other word  from God.

God’s word  is not dead or helpless,  old or outdated.     Because it is a “living” word,  it stands forever firm and we can trust it.     As Hebrews 4:12 describes it,

For the word of God is  living  and active  and sharper  than any two-edged sword,  and piercing  as far as the division  of soul and spirit,  of both joints  and marrow,  and able to judge the thoughts  and intentions  of the heart.

As the  “living“  word,  we can be sure that it will not be lost,  so that people will be confused about the surety of their free salvation  through faith  alone  in Christ Jesus.     And,  we are assured  in John 20:31,  about what is  in the Bible,

These have been written  that you may believe  that Jesus  is the Christ,  the Son of God;  and that believing  you may have life  in His name.

If one is still doubtful about having  all of the word of God necessary  for salvation,  we can remember  the description  of the victorious Jesus  in Revelation 19:13,

And He is clothed  with a robe dipped  in blood;  and His name is called  The Word of God.

Jesus is our LORD and God.     He is eternal.     And, His name is  “The Word of God“.     God is totally capable of keeping all of His  plain and precious promises  for us,  so that we may have  eternal life.     All we have to do  is open up our Bible  and start having fellowship  with the Author.     He is “living and active“.

In the joy and assurance  of God’s precious truths,  we say,  “Hallelujah!     Lord,  let Your living and active word  come into our hearts,  so that we  may be assured  of Your truths — and be free  from the influences  of this world.”

Love,
Margaret
