"... All flesh is like grass and all it's glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the Word of the Lord remains forever..."
                                                                                                                 1 Peter 1:24-25 ESV
The Word of God is eternal. Maybe not the bible you read from right now. You can forget it in a hotel room, lose it at the beach, it could be destroyed in a fire... But it can be replaced and the words will be the same. It's character and authority will endure forever. The bible tells us that God breathed into man (Adam) the breath of life (Gen. 2:7), and man became a living soul."  ... God spoke the universe into existence. God spoke His word, and nature obeyed. Moses was told that the Scriptures were vital to the Israelites' survival... and he told this to Joshua in order to pass on the mantle of leadership - In Deuteronomy 32: 47 he says that God's words are "no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live...."  God spoke His words through Moses and the Prophets and then as the New Testament era begins, John describes Christ as the Word Who was made flesh to dwell amoung us. (John 1:14). ...  God fulfills all His promises according to His Word... The bible, God's word to us is eternal... it will never come to an end, because Jesus IS the WORD. Isaiah 55 tells us (v.11) - that God's Word will not return empty and it will accomplish that which God purposes, and it will succeed in the thing for which He sends it.... Hebrews 4:12-13 states; "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword.... piercing our bodies, thoughts, and intentions of our hearts.
Ultimately, we don't read the bible; the bible reads us! ... We must face who we are when we look into the awesome scriptures. They tell us the truth about ourselves and God. Have you responded to God's word? .... Do it today!
