God's Word

God breathed

2 Timothy 3:16-17  

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Treasure it more than necessary food

Job 23:12  

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.

Meditate day and night

Psalms 1:1-2  

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Joshua 1:8  

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Spoke by the prophets and His Son

Hebrews 1:1-2  

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Living & powerful, sharper

Hebrews 4:12  

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Holy men spoke, moved by Spirit

2 Peter 1:21  

For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

If anyone adds or takes away

Revelation 22:18-19  

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
