IT'S INFALLIBLE

THE B.I.B.L.E


*BAM. 
No, its not just the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth..its THE WORD FROM GOD, HIMSELF!

So, what is God's Word?
The word of Life ~ 
Phil 2:16 
¹⁶ as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.


The helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit ~
Ephesians 6:17
¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Solid food for our Spirit ~

Hebrews 5:12-14 

^11-14I have a lot more to say about this, but it is hard to get it across to you since you've picked up this bad habit of not listening. By this time you ought to be teachers yourselves, yet here I find you need someone to sit down with you and go over the basics on God again, starting from square one—baby's milk, when you should have been on solid food long ago! Milk is for beginners, inexperienced in God's ways; solid food is for the mature, who have some practice in telling right from wrong.

What does it do?

Makes us complete ~

1 John 2:5
⁵ But if anyone obeys his word, love for God^[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him.

Convicts us ~

John 12:48

⁴⁸ There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

Frees us ~

John 8:31-32

^31-32Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you."

But! Unless you live the word of God, you can't activate it all of it's goodness into your life!


Thus, THE HEART - Must be Open.


                           - Must be willing to Change. For the Word does not change, We have
                             to change.
                             Matthew 24:35
                             New International Version (NIV)

                                                ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass    
                             away.

Remember that..


Hebrews 4:12
The Message (MSG)

 ^12-13God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word. We can't get away from it—no matter what.

similarly..

Hebrews 4:12
New International Version (NIV)

 ¹² For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.






So hopefully we've learnt something new together,something you wouldn't wanna forget!


For those about to take SPM, ask God for His favour and strength! And His merciful love that is new every morning, ask just in time before you head off for school :)


NO WORRIES! BIG SMILES, THUMBS UP.
