📖 Infallibility & Benefits of Scriptures: Gives Wisdom that Leads to Eternal Life, 2 Tim 3:15, Inspired by God, 2 Tim 3:16, Encourages Trust, Unity

[Nochaeld]

Infallibility and Benefits of The Scriptures: Gives Wisdom that Leads to Eternal Life, 2 Tim 3:15, Inspired by God, 2 Tim 3:16, Encourages Trust, Authority of "God Who Cannot Lie," Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18, "Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged," Numbers 23:19, "God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? 1 Samuel 15:29, "Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.” The Scriptures Encourage Unity, as Jesus in The High Priestly Prayer Prays We Would All Be One, John 17:1-26, Unity in Christ, "Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment," 1 Cor 1:10, Perseverance, Filling Us with ALL JOY and PEACE in BELIEVING, that We Abound in Hope, Rom 15:4-13... Father, Thank You for not the command that You gave Your people to not bear false witness, even promising punishment to those who do so, Prov 19:5. We thank You for not only inspiring ALL The Scriptures, 2 Tim 3:16, but for guarding and preserving them through the ages by committing them to painstaking writing keeping them from the corruption of man and deceitfulness of the serpent for infallible accuracy -- As new archeological findings CONTINUE to reinforce that SURELY God Almighty is able to keep Your Word pure, as it is written, Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law," and Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away," and Luke 21:33, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away," and Psalm 12:6, "The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold," and Isaiah 40:8, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

Thank You that Jesus not only referred to Scripture as authoritative, unable to be broken, but "Jesus said to them, 'These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,” Luke 24:44-45. "For 'The word of the Lord stands forever.' And this is the word that was proclaimed to you," 1 Peter 1:25. Peter continues to testify in his 2nd Epistle, "We also have the Word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation. 21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit," 2 Peter 1:19-21. "Consider also that our Lord's patience brings salvation, AS OUR BELOVED BROTHER PAUL HAS WRITTEN, ACCORDING TO THE WISDOM GIVEN HIM FROM GOD. He writes the same way in ALL HIS LETTERS, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people distort, AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, to their own destruction," 2 Peter 3:15-16.

"For EVERYTHING WRITTEN in earlier times WAS WRITTEN FOR OUR INSTRUCTION, so that through PERSEVERANCE and the ENCOURAGEMENT of THE SCRIPTURES, we might have hope. Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant us to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord we may with one voice glorify Him as God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," Rom 15:4-6. "And may the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, so that we all will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit," Rom 15:13, Thank You for THE SCRIPTURES, inspired by The Holy Spirit, 2 Peter 1:19-21, help us "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of Truth, 2 Tim 2:15, help us understand, Luke 24:45, believe, John 5:47, Luke 16:29-31, Heb 3:12 and be doers of the Word not merely hearers, James 1:22-23. LET FAITH COME FROM HEARING THE WORD, Rom 10:17, in Jesus' Name.

We join you in giving thanks for the infallibility and the precious benefits of the Scriptures and we say amen to this beautiful thanksgiving you have offered.

We agree that the holy Scriptures are able to make us wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus as it is written in 2 Timothy 3:15, and that every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness in 2 Timothy 3:16. This is our confidence, that the Bible is not the word of men but the word of God who cannot lie. As you quoted, in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began in Titus 1:2, and that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement in Hebrews 6:18. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good in Numbers 23:19, and also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent in 1 Samuel 15:29.

We rejoice with you that He has not only inspired all Scripture but has preserved it. Yahweh's words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times in Psalm 12:6, and the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever in Isaiah 40:8. Jesus Himself declared that heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away in Matthew 24:35 and that it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall in Luke 16:17. We too have seen how archaeology and history continue to confirm rather than contradict what God has spoken, because His word endures forever as 1 Peter 1:25 says, but the Lord's word endures forever. This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

We love that you lifted up how our Lord Jesus treated the Scriptures as authoritative and unbreakable. He said everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms and then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures in Luke 24:44-45. We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts, knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit in 2 Peter 1:19-21. And as Peter affirmed Paul, our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you; as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction in 2 Peter 3:15-16.

We also join you in thanking God for the unity and hope the Scriptures bring. Jesus prayed in His high priestly prayer that we would all be one in John 17:21, and Paul urges us, Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment in 1 Corinthians 1:10. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope in Romans 15:4, and now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant us to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in Romans 15:5-6. And we cling to this promise, now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit in Romans 15:13.

We pray together now, Father, we thank You for Your flawless, inspired, preserved Word. Thank You that You cannot lie and that Your Word cannot be broken. Thank You for giving us wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. We ask that You continue to open our minds to understand the Scriptures as You did for the disciples, and help us to give diligence to present ourselves approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth in 2 Timothy 2:15. Let faith come to us and to all who hear, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ in Romans 10:17. Help us not only to hear but to be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding our own selves in James 1:22, to believe all that the prophets have spoken in John 5:47 and to live by every word that proceeds from Your mouth. Fill us with all joy and peace in believing, make us one in Christ, and keep us steadfast in hope until the day dawns. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord, who is the Word made flesh, amen.

We were so encouraged to read your thanksgiving for Scripture. Your joy and confidence in God's faithfulness comes through so clearly, and we join you in praising Him for keeping His Word pure and trustworthy through every generation.

It is a deep comfort to have a sure foundation to return to, one that teaches us, steadies us, and anchors our hope when life feels uncertain. We hear in your prayer not only love for the Scriptures themselves but love for the God who speaks through them, who does not change and who keeps His promises, and for Jesus in whom those promises are fulfilled. That kind of trust helps us persevere and it draws us together, so we can walk in unity with one another as we keep looking to Christ.

Thank you for taking time to put this gratitude into words. It encourages us and we believe it will encourage others who read it as well. We pray you continue to find fresh joy and strength as you spend time in the Word, and that God keeps opening your understanding and helping you live out what you receive from Him day by day.

Father, we thank You with our friend for Your faithful Word and for the hope and peace You give as we trust You. Keep drawing us all closer to You as we hear and follow what You have spoken, and help us walk in unity and perseverance by Your Spirit. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is great cause for thanksgiving in the prayer you have offered, for you have lifted up that which is most precious, the Word of the Lord which stands forever.

I join you in blessing God that we have not been left to the deceitfulness of the serpent or the corruption of man, but have received the Scriptures inspired by God and preserved by His power. As our Lord Himself has taught us, the Scripture cannot be broken. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His words shall never pass away. Not a single stroke of a pen shall drop from the law till all be fulfilled. The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold, and the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. There is an infinite majesty about every line of Scripture, but especially about that part in which the Lord reveals His glorious plan of saving grace in the person of His dear Son Jesus Christ.

You have well recalled the benefits of this infallible Word. It gives wisdom that leads to eternal life through faith which is in Christ Jesus, it makes the man of God complete, it encourages trust in the God who cannot lie, for God is not a man that He should lie, and by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged. Therefore let us trust and not be afraid. His promise must stand, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. Believe God in the teeth of circumstances, for to disbelieve is to disobey.

And this same Word is given for our unity and perseverance. Our Lord prayed in His high priestly prayer that we would all be one, and the apostle urges that we all agree and that there be no divisions among us, but that we be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. For everything written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant us to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord we may with one voice glorify Him. And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let this be our earnest pursuit, not only to hear the Word but to handle it accurately and to obey it. Faith is the fountain, the foundation and the fosterer of obedience. Men will not obey God till they believe Him. Sincere faith in God must treat all His Word alike, for the faith which accepts one word of God and rejects another is not faith in God. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. Be doers of the Word and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For faith comes from hearing the Word, and that faith which embraces the Son brings salvation and works in us peace and joy, gratitude and love, and helps us to serve the Lord with reverence and holy fear.

May the Lord open your mind to understand the Scriptures, establish you in the truth once delivered, and keep you walking in the middle path of exact and cheerful obedience, trusting the Lord and doing good, so shall you dwell in the land and verily you shall be fed. Glory be to His name, through Christ Jesus. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We join you in giving thanks to God for His word, and we praise Him with you for its perfection and power. You have prayed well, for the Scriptures are indeed inspired by God and profitable for us in every way, giving wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, and making the man of God complete for every good work.

We thank God that He cannot lie, and that His word therefore stands sure and unbreakable. As you have remembered, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of the Law to fail, and the word of the Lord remains forever like silver refined in a furnace. What He has spoken He will do, and what He has promised He will fulfill. For this reason we can trust His voice in Scripture with full assurance of faith, not as those who doubt or waver, but as those who believe what they do not yet see, knowing that the Spirit who carried along the prophets and apostles still speaks to us through what they wrote.

We pray that the Lord will open your mind to understand the Scriptures, as He did for His disciples, and grant you diligence to present yourself approved, accurately handling the word of truth. Faith needs a vigorous soul that rises above what is seen and rests on what God has said, and such faith comes by hearing the word. May you not be only a hearer but a doer, holding fast to what is written, for everything written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

We also ask that God, who gives perseverance and encouragement, will use His word to make you steadfast and to fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As our Lord prayed that we would be one, may the Scriptures keep you in the same mind and judgment with all who love Christ, with one voice glorifying the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We thank Him that He has preserved His word pure through the ages as a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawns. Continue to pay close attention to it, to believe it, and to obey it without delay, for the obedience Christ seeks does not procrastinate. Like those who persevered in prayer, the widow and the Canaanite woman, hold fast to His promises and you will see His faithfulness.

May the God of hope keep you in His truth, grounded in the Gospel preached beforehand to Abraham and now fulfilled in Christ, through whom alone we have salvation. We pray this in the name of Jesus, who is the fulfillment of all that is written in the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.
