The ONLY THING that will REMAIN

 

Jesus said:

Luke 21:33 

King James Version

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: 

but my words shall not pass away.

According to JESUS, the only thing that will remain will be His words.

The prophet Isaiah echoed the very same statement:

Isaiah 40:8 

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, 

the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God 

shall stand for ever.

Why, then, do we focus on everything else, but His words?

Why do we continue to be distracted by things of the world, when all that matters is Jesus?

Colossians 3:1-2 

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth 

on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

The WORD must dwell in us.

Colossians 3:16-17  

King James Version

16 Let the word of Christ 

dwell in you richly 

in all wisdom; 

teaching and admonishing one another 

in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

His words give us spirit, and life.

John 6:63 

King James Version

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; 

the flesh profiteth nothing: 

the words that I speak unto you, 

they are spirit, 

and they are life.

His words protect us.

Ephesians 6:17 

King James Version

17 And take the helmet of salvation, 

and the sword of the Spirit, 

which is the word of God:

His words give light.

James 1:21

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness 

and superfluity of naughtiness, 

and receive with meekness the engrafted word, 

which is able to save your souls.

His words feed us.

Deuteronomy 8:3 

King James Version

3 And he humbled thee, 

and suffered thee to hunger, 

and fed thee with manna, 

which thou knewest not, 

neither did thy fathers know; 

that he might make thee know 

that man doth not live by bread only, 

but by every word that proceedeth 

out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

His words set us free.

John 8:31-32 

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

His words uphold all things.

Hebrews 1:3 

King James version

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, 

and the express image of his person,

when he had by himself purged our sins,

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

His words produce faith in us.

Let there be light:

20 My son, attend to my words; 

incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; 

keep them in the midst of thine heart.
