the shining word

For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged-sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart.  Hebrews 4:12

And so we have the prophetic Word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.   2 Peter 1:19,21

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17

It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.  Matthew 4:4

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of God will stand forever. Isaiah 40:8

Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against God.  Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:11, 105

 

None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict. To every soul will come the searching test; shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand. Are our feet planted on the rock of God's immutable Word? Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus? The events connected with the close of probation and the work of preparation for the time of trouble are clearly presented. But multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed. Still God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms.  When the testing time shall come, those who have made God's word their rule of life will be revealed.                        Great Controversy chapter 37 "The Scriptures a Safeguard"
