Jesus said “it IS written” (Matt 4:4)

Ecc 3:14 – I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Psalm 12:6-7 – The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever

Matt 5:18 – For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled

Mark 13:31 – Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.

1Peter 1:23-25 – Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Inspiration without preservation is a divine waste of time.

Psalm 12:6 – The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Proverbs 30:5 – Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him
1Peter 1:23 – Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

John 4:24 – God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth

John 6:63 – It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

1 Cor 2:14 – But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned

Inspiration – Every word proceedeth out of the mouth of God

Exodus 20:1 – And God spake all these words, saying,

Exodus 24:7 – And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient

2Timothy 3:16 – All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Peter 1:19-21 – We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost

Ask me “Where is the Church?” and I can find her at any and every period from the day when first in the upper room the Holy Ghost came down even until now.  In one unbroken line our apostolic succession runs; not through the Church of Rome; not from the superstitious hands of priest-made pospes, or king-created bishops, (what a varnished lie is the apostolic succession of those who boast so proudly of it!) but through the blood of good men and true, who never forsook the testimony of Jesus; through the loins of true pastors, laborious evangelists, faithful martyrs, and honorable men of God, we trace our pedigree up to the fishermen of Galilee and glory that we perpetuate by God’s grace that true and faithful Church of the living God, in whom Christ did abide and will abide until the world’s crash.

Authoritative – Scripture is final authority over our life, for every matter of faith and practice.

Isaiah 55:10-11 – For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalm 138:2 – I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name
for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. [Neh 9:5]

Titus 2:15 – These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee

Matthew 4:4 – But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God [Deut 8:3]

1. Man shall live by every word – authority and applicability of scripture
2. Every word proceedeth out of the mouth of God – scripture is inspired and spiritually discerned
3. It is written (not was) – scripture is pure, preserved, and accessible

Luke 5:39 – No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

“old wine” is fermented alcoholic wine that causes drunkenness, fermentation is a type of leaven which represents corruption.  The old wine represents “corruptible seed”.


“new wine” is recently squeezed grape juice that is not fermented, the sugar brightens the countenance.  New wine represents incorruptible seed of God’s word.
