The Words Of His Mouth

Job 23:12

The most amazing thing about the Bible is that it just keeps going!

Through persecution.

Through desertion.

Through revolution.

Here are three common DESCRIPTIONS of God’s Bible:

I. God’s Inspired Book.

Job 23:12 “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”

II. God’s Inerrant Book.

Mark 8:37-38 “37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Inerrant -

Only two known items in the universe cannot be wrong, nor have the ability to be wrong:

The Almighty God.

The Holy Bible.

III. God’s Infallible Book.

Isaiah 66:2 “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

God’s word works.

Isaiah 55:11 “11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

God’s word washes.

Ephesians 5:26-27 “26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

God’s word watches.

Galatians 3:8 “8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”

Conclusion:

Are you saved?

Are you clean?
