10. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT 9. By your words I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. Psalm 119:105 The Message 8. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22 ESV 7. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35 ESV 6. Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 NLT 5. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word. Psalm 119:114 ESV 4. Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:5 NIV 3. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 NIV 2. Don’t suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures—either God’s Law or the Prophets. I’m not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama. God’s Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God’s Law will be alive and working [said Jesus]. Matthew 5:17-18 MSG 1. For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12 MSG
