GOD'S WORD NEVER FAILS

Matthew 5:18 KJV (WS)

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.

GOD'S WORD NEVER FAILS

Things That Never Fail

INTRODUCTION:

Many things fail us in this old world of ours.

Things that we think are impregnable sometimes fail in critical moments.

Sometimes friends, or at least those we thought would never fail, prove untrue.

Banks fail, health fails, and we crumble to dust.

I. IT IS VERY COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT THE LORD JEHOVAH NEVER FAILS

Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV (WS)

And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

It is easy to believe Jehovah, or the Lord God, will not fail when we realize who Jehovah is.

He lies our greatest hurdle, we sometimes don’t realize who He is...

II. THE HOLY SPIRIT NEVER FAILS

The Holy Spirit is given to man to stay by him and in him.

Each believer receives an appropriate blessing from the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:4–11 KJV (WS)

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

III. THE LORD’S COMPASSIONS NEVER FAIL

Jeremiah, guided by the Holy Spirit, tells us in Lamentations.

Lamentations 3:31–33 KJV (WS)

For the Lord will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

IV. OUR TREASURE IN HEAVEN WILL NEVER FAIL

Luke 12:32–34 KJV (WS)

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

V. OUR FAITH NEVER FAILS WHEN WE ARE LINKED UP WITH JESUS

Jesus prays to God that our faith will not fail.

Luke 22:31–32 KJV (WS)

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

How could our faith fail when one who has tried our walk, was crucified, dead, and buried and is now alive pleading with God to let the Holy Spirit be our Guide and stay?

VI. CHRIST’S LOVE NEVER FAILS US

Ephesians 5:2 KJV (WS)

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Calvary proves what love is.

VII. GOD’S WORD NEVER FAILS

It never has.

The Holy Spirit inspired Joshua to write these words:

Joshua 21:45 KJV (WS)

There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Why should anyone expect God’s Word to ever fail?

In Psalm 119:89 we read:

Psalm 119:89 KJV (WS)

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
