The following is a personal compilation of related Bible facts of over 50 years of studying the the WORD OF GOD. It is my desire to share with you these ‘hidden nuggets of biblical truths’, in the hopes of blessing you in your love for God and His WORD! Jesus said ‘Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my WORDs shall Not pass away’ Mt24:35. 

God’s WORD is eternal Is40:8; it is life Jn6:63, and it ‘endureth forever’ Ps117:2. Paul declared ‘For the WORD IS GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit.. and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart’ Heb4:12. ‘The WORDs of the LORD are Pure WORDs: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times’ Ps12:6.

• GOD IS HIS WORD and THE WORD IS GOD: ‘In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was GOD‘ Jn1:1. Jesus is ‘the WORD OF GOD’ Re19:13; Jesus is ‘the WORD made flesh, and dwelt among us..‘ Jn1:14! Everything we want to know about GOD is revealed in His WORD. To love GOD is to love His WORD.

• FAITH also means FOOD ALWAYS IN THE HOUSE: ‘Our Father which art in heaven.. Give us this day our daily bread..’ Mt6:9,11.

• GRACE- not just unmerited favor, but GOD’S RICHES AT CHRIST EXPENSE!  Jn1:17 ‘For the law was given by Moses, but GRACE and truth came by Jesus Christ’. 2Co8:9 ‘.. For ye know the Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet.. he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich’.
