The question above is always asked by Regis Philben
on the TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." It
would be good to ask this question regarding Bible matters. Rather
than question or even doubt God's Word, we need to accept whatever
the Lord has said.
David said, in Psalm 119:89, "For ever, O
Lord, thy word is settled in heaven." The Bible is God's
final word. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these
last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir
of all things, by whom also he made the world." Hebrews 1:1-2.
Also, read Hebrews 6:13-18.
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:35. "But the
word of the Lord will endure for ever. And this is the word which
by the gospel is preached unto you." 1 Peter 1:25. Other
verses could be cited which make it clear that God's Word is final.
I pray that men and women will accept His word. We must accept
and hear His word. "While he yet spake, behold, a bright
cloud overshadowed them, and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him." Matthew 17:5. "Nevertheless the foundation
of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them
that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity." 2 Timothy 2:19.
"For other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 3:11.
Let us build on the true and sure foundation, otherwise we will
fall. Jesus stated this so clearly in Matthew 7:24-27. It is tragic
that so many continue to look elsewhere for the right answers
to life's problems. The Bible contains the answers to every problem
we face in this life.
"My sheep hear my voice and I know them,
and they follow me." John 10:27. The Lord calls upon sinners
to hear His word, believe in Him as the Savior, repent of their
sins, confess their faith in Him, and be baptized for the remission
of sins. John 8:24; Acts 2:38; 8:37; 22:16. The plan of salvation
is so plain and so simple to be understood. Man has muddied the
water, so to speak. The New Testament presents to us the truth
regarding the church, the plan of salvation, the worship of the
church, and how to live the Christian life.
May we humbly accept the truth and walk in His
steps. This is the final answer to all of our problems. P.O. Box
