THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD IN THE BIBLE
- The Word of God is Spirit and Life
Jesus said:
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” (John 6:63)
The Word of God is not just words on a page, but the living power of the Holy Spirit, bringing life and transforming hearts. Those who seek Him through the Word of God will be alive and transformed.
- The Bible Is Complete – No One Can Add to or Take Away From It
The book of Revelation ends with a dire warning:
“If anyone adds anything to the words of this prophecy, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city…” (Revelation 22:18-19)
This confirms that the Bible is complete and cannot be changed. No one, including spiritual forces or self-proclaimed “prophets,” has the right to claim anything new that goes beyond the Bible. Any “new revelation” that does not agree with the Bible must be rejected.
- The Bible Is God’s Revelation
The Bible is not a human invention, but the result of God’s revelation through generations of prophets and apostles. Every word is inspired by the Holy Spirit:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness…” (2 Timothy 3:16)
“The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue.” (2 Samuel 23:2)
“No prophecy of Scripture was ever made by the will of man, but men spoke the words of God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:21)
- Beware of Impersonating God
Today, many so-called “anointed ones” or “prophets” make statements that are not based on the Bible. No matter how powerful or prominent they may seem, God’s people must be on guard. No prophecy or vision is to be placed on par with or above the Bible.
Anything that is called “the word of God” must be measured against the written Word of God. If it does not match, it is a counterfeit.
- Stand Firmly on the Word of Truth
The Bible is absolute, unchanging, and infallible truth, and is the highest standard for all faith and action. Those who base their lives on the Word of God will stand firm against all lies and temptations in the end times.
Conclusion:
Love, know, and live by the Bible – for it is the living and powerful Word of God. Do not be fooled by “sayings” that go beyond or deviate from what is written. The Bible alone is the true and infallible Word – the only word that leads to eternal life.
