The Unshakeable Word of God

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35
​
Secondly, midst the confusion of secular, worldly and human philosophies stands the unshakeable reality of the Word of God. Throughout the history of the world, God’s word has been under attack. The Old Testament is full of condemnations for the many false prophets seeking to replace the true word of God with their own (Ezekiel 22:28). During the first 300 years after Christ, the Roman Empire did all it could to burn every copy of the New Testament. As time went on, the Catholic Church prohibited anyone except priests from reading and interpreting the Scriptures. The French philosopher Voltaire said, “A hundred years from my death the Bible will be a museum piece.” However, a hundred years after his death the French Bible Society set up its headquarters in Voltaire’s old home in Paris.

Despite all the opposition to the Scriptures, there are still more copies of the original manuscripts than any other book written in all of history. Within the last 50 years, the Bible has been printed nearly 4 billion times!

Repeatedly, the Bible has been the source of stability in time of crisis.  Is it your source at this time?
