The For Ever Bible

Psalm 119:160

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Psalm 119:152 AV

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Forever - late 14th century “for ever”; became “forever” late 17th century

For - in the place of, equivalent to, because of

ever - (1828 definition 1) At all times; always; continually.

2 Timothy 3:7 AV

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

There are two established TIMES we find there is a forever Bible.

I. From the Beginning the Bible is True.

Thy word is true from the beginning:

Psalm 119:89 AV

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Inspiration was not the beginning, but the arrival of the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:15–16 AV

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Preservation is not the ending, but the keeping of the Bible.

Proverbs 30:5 AV

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Psalm 12:6–7 AV

6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

II. To the Ending the Bible is True.

and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Ecclesiastes 3:14 AV

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Matthew 5:18 AV

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

1 John 2:15–16 AV

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The Bible will outlast the world.

The Bible will outlast the flesh.

The Bible will outlast the devil.

Conclusion:

Are you trying to outlast the Bible?
