Bíblia
A Bíblia é a Palavra de Deus — viva, eficaz e mais cortante que espada de dois gumes. Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus e útil para ensinar, repreender, corrigir e instruir em justiça.
Inspiração divina
Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus. Homens santos falaram da parte de Deus movidos pelo Espírito Santo.
Poder da Palavra
A Palavra de Deus é viva e eficaz. O céu e a terra passarão, mas as minhas palavras jamais passarão.
10 For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, except it water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;11 So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, except it accomplish that which I please, and make the thing whereto I sent it prosper.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man keep his way pure? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.
160 The beginning of Thy word is truth; and all Thy righteous ordinance endureth for ever.
Estudar e pregar
Os bereanos examinavam as Escrituras diariamente. Procura apresentar-te a Deus aprovado como obreiro que maneja bem a Palavra.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Revelação e fidelidade
A Palavra do Senhor veio aos profetas. A graça de Deus se manifestou na Escritura para a salvação de todos.
8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying:
1 THE WORD of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying:
1 THE BURDEN of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying:
4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying:
1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to bring good tidings unto the humble; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the eyes to them that are bound;2 To proclaim the year of the LORD'S good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, wherein He might glory.
Viver pela Palavra
Não só de pão vive o homem. Nada acrescentes nem diminuas. A Palavra é alimento, guia e espada do cristão.
5 Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him.6 Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
