The Word

“The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple” (Ps. 119:130). 

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isa. 40:8). 

The Bible is a lamp that gives light (Ps. 119:105), 

bread that gives life (Matt. 4:4), 

fire that refines (Jer. 23:29), 

a sword that divides (Heb. 4:12), 

a hammer that breaks (Jer. 23:29), 

a seed that implants and bears fruit (James 1:21, 1 Pet. 1:23), 

milk that nourishes (1 Pet. 2:2), 

and solid meat that strengthens (Heb. 5:12)
