Our God is a Speaking God

God has chosen to self disclose Himself to us through His Word. Francis Schaeffer, referring to God, wrote, "He is there, and He is not silent." God spoke and the entire universe was born out of nothing. The Bible tells us again and again that God spoke to His people. He spoke to Adam, Abraham, Moses, the prophets, etc. When Jesus came into the world, He was called the Word. How appropriate for God's revelation in the flesh--the living Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and TRUTH (John 1:1,14). When you open your Bible, you are hearing the God of the universe speak to YOU. And what He says is absolute truth. What are some apsects of God's nature we discover in His Word?

God's Truth Will Endure Forever

What God has spoken does not change, will not change, cannot change. Psalm 119:89 says, "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Jesus Himself said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away" (Matthew 24:35). The Apostle Peter said, "But the word of the Lord endures forever" (I Peter 1:25). What an awesome thought. When I read my Bible, I am hearing the very words of God which will never pass away. One thousand billion years from now, God's Word will still remain the same...unchanging and absolute.
