45 When
Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to
heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may
command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words
for you--they are your life.”
Deuteronomy 32:45-47 (NIV)
14 But as
for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of,
because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known
the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All
Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work.
2 Timothy 3:14-17 (NIV)
19 And we
have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay
attention to it, as to a light 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 came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its
origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by
the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:19-21 (NIV)
105 Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
Psalms 119:105 (NIV)
160 All
your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
Psalms 119:160 (NIV)
165 Great
peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.
Psalms 119:165 (NIV)

“We may be certain
that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous
in our lives.” Charles
Spurgeon
“Beware of
reasoning about God's Word - obey It.” Oswald Chambers
“If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power,
you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” C.H. Spurgeon
you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” C.H. Spurgeon
“Christ’s
words are of permanent value because of His person; they endure because He
endures.” W. H. Griffith Thomas
“What is more elevating and transporting than the generosity
of heart which risks everything on God’s Word?” John Henry Newman
“The
rabbis spoke of the text being like a gem with seventy faces, and each time you
turn the gem, the light refracts differently, giving you a reflection you
haven’t seen before. And so we turn the
text again and again because we keep seeing things we missed before. When you embrace the text as living and
active, when you enter its story, when you keep turning the gem, you never come
to the end. Inspired words have a way of
getting under our skin and taking on a life of their own. They work on us. We started out reading them, but they end up
reading us.” Rob Bell
“The words of God
which you receive by your ear, hold fast in your heart; for the Word of God is
the food of the soul.” Gregory I
