Lesson No. 3

Lesson No. 3 It Is the Word of God That Remains Forever

As stated earlier, the Holy Bible is also called the Word of God because it contains His written word. And its statement is of such value that it does not age or expire, but just as He remains forever, so too does it persist. This is declared by the Bible itself according to the following passages:

Psalm 119: verse 89: “LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven”.51

First Peter chapter 1: verses 24 and 25: “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you”.51

In this citation from the First Epistle of Saint Peter, both life and the glory of man are compared to something as fleeting as dry grass and falling flower. In contrast with the word of God that remains forever.

It is true that throughout the history of humanity, there have been men who have achieved much fame, honor, and glory. But with the passage of time, it all faded and only the memory remains. However, Jesus Christ, the main proponent of the Word of God, did not have the glories of this world. Instead, He chose to lay down His life on a rough wooden cross to give us salvation and eternal life. Yet His holy doctrine, which contains the foundation of the Word of God, has remained alive and growing for more than two thousand years and will endure forever. It is astonishing how over the centuries millions of individuals join the followers of the Word of God, fully convinced that its promises are neither fleeting nor temporary, but certain and everlasting.
