A. Many Christians do not depend on God’s Word as they should.

It never fails.
“There hath not failed one word of all his good promise:
C. Few things in this life are trustworthy.
Possessions fail, pleasures fade, popularity falls, and people falter.
“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever” ().
