The Content of The Word of God
a. John 18:37: "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth. Every one that is of the Truth heareth My voice." God's people know Truth.
They listen to the WORD of God, and they know why Jesus came to this earth. They know Him. They believe Him.
Psalm 100:5: "For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His TRUTH endureth to all generations." Psalm 115:1 "Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy TRUTH's sake." James 1:18 "Of His own will begat He us with the WORD of TRUTH, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." John 17:17: "Sanctify them through Thy TRUTH: Thy WORD is TRUTH."
b. John 5:39: "Search the SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me." The WORD is life to believers. Jesus Christ, The WORD, secured Eternal Life to those who believe His testimony. Philippians 2:16: "Holding forth the WORD of Life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."
c. Psalm 119:41: "Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even Thy salvation, according to Thy WORD." Along with life, The WORD gives us His mercy and salvation.
d. Hebrews 6:5: "And have tasted the Good WORD of God, and the powers of the world to come." The WORD contains only good, because only God is good. Anything in the world, that is good, comes from God. James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Psalm 73:1: "Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart." Matthew 19:17: "There is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
e. Psalm 119:140: "Thy WORD is very pure: therefore Thy servant loveth it." In a world as polluted as ours, where can we turn to find pureness, both in motive and practice? And once you think you've found something, or someone that is pure, how do you know you can trust it, or them, implicitly? To really know The WORD is to believe and trust Him. He is pure.
f. Psalm 119:162: "I rejoice at Thy WORD, as one that findeth great spoil." The WORD is the greatest Wealth, the greatest Treasure, any man could EVER hope to obtain. Psalm 16:11: "Thou wilt show me the path of Life: in Thy presence is fulness of Joy; at Thy right hand there are Pleasures for evermore." Psalm 119:14: "I have rejoiced in the way of Thy TESTIMONIES, as much as in all riches." Psalm 119:111: "Thy TESTIMONIES have I taken as an Heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart."
In fact, all the vast riches that a person could possibly find in His WORD, are abundance beyond human imagination. There is no creature, nor creation, that has EVER experienced all that God is, or offers to be-- nor EVER shall! Psalm 147:5: "Great is our LORD, and of great power: His understanding is infinite."
