DAD'S RAMBLINGS – God's Written Word
Romans 15:4
"For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."
I know that all Scripture is given by God for doctrine, correction, reproof and instruction in righteousness (II Timothy 3:16). But it is also the basis for my faith. Without the written text, my hope of salvation would only be an unfounded, unproven theory – much like the theory of evolution. My faith would be based on whatever my mind conceived to be true. I have a more sure word (II Peter 1:19) – a patient (steadfast, constant) word that brings comfort (paraklesis – help, comfort, encouragement), a word that is a solid basis for faith. I am so thankful for God's written Word.
TODAY'S THOUGHT – God's written Word is a solid basis for faith.
Have a "patience and comfort" day. Love you.
