Psalms 119:105 (KJV) NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Word of God is
Inerrant and infallible
In the Hebrew or Greek it is without error.
When we understand what an error is.
The Bible is inerrant in all that God affirms or denies.
It’s Infallible in all his promises what he has done will do or is doing.
It cannot fail.
We can’t have a shallow view of inerrancy.
Synoptics
Matthew, Mark, Luke
They each told the story to a respective group. some exhaustive some concise.
Don’t let your faith get shipwrecked over a shallow view of inerrancy.
(Examples)
But there is more here The Word seems to take in every thing God has revealed all his communion and communication with us. All of the dreams and visions all he has “said “ to us.
Strong’s definition
Every lamp has to have oil.
The Holy Spirit illuminates the Word and shows us just what kind of ground we are standing on.
The Holy Spirit gives us discernment.
2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The World rejects the Word because it has no Oil.
2 Timothy 3:1-4 (NKJV) 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
This verse shows us the popular philosophy’s of the day .
Humanism – lovers of themselves
Materialism- lovers of money.
Hedonism- lovers of pleasures.
What ground are we standing on?
Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it [spring] the issues of life.
The world says follow your heart ?
But the Bible says the Heart is desperately wicked.
Follow your heart!
What do you identify as?
(examples)
You should affirm not only yourself but your children and those around you!
God says guard your heart!
Satan is a master deceiver.
He’s just looking for a crack in the door.
God has told us over and over to put something down , to guard our heart but we sear our hearts by following our desires.
They are without excuse
The number of stars in the universe is equivalent, to all the grains of sand in all the beaches of the earth times 100 thousand.
Traveling Space Shuttle speed ((5 miles a second) it would take 200 thousand years to travel from one star to another in our galaxy.
Psalms 103:11 (NKJV) 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, [So] great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.
That is his amazing love for us.
Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) “For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
His Word is a light unto our Path.
He shows us how to get there.
A light usually doesn’t shine very far down the path, but you take a step and go a little more .
Everyday you walk that path. Every day he gives you more revelation, he speaks more, more oil more light.
1 John 1:6-7 (NKJV) 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
