God's word is above all; His steadfast love reveals his promises; He confirms we can fully partake in all the covenant founded upon His grace provided through Jesus Christ.
God’s Word Is Sure


Hebrews 6:16  For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.  17  Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,  18  that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.  19  This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,  20  where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Those who have put their faith and reliance upon Jesus Christ are the heirs of promise.  God was determined to show that He was and is a covenant keeping God!  Men swear an oath by contracts; God made an oath by His counsel and promise founded in His Word.  God's word is so strong it can give us a strong hope of assurance that no other can bring.  God can not lie and His word is steadfast and sure.  The sureness of His word is the anchor for our soul.  This blessed assurance come from Jesus Christ our High Priest.  Jesus was the forerunner into the presence of God on our behalf.  God's word is steadfast and unmovable and has granted those who believe in Jesus access into His very presence.

2 Corinthians 1:20  For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

God’s promises are yes and amen!  When Jesus said He came to give life and life more abundantly it was a promise established on the authority of God!  This is to the glory of God through us!  You can experience His promises; it is not elusive.

2 Peter 1:16  For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.  17  For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."  18  And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.  19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;  20  knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,  21  for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus came to earth to seek and to save that which was lost!  The sureness of the mission was the Father Himself testified of Jesus!  Peter was a first hand witness to this testimony the Father spoke.  Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy; Jesus fulfill the purpose and plan of God.  At the revelation of Jesus there comes a knowing of God.  At the revelation of Jesus comes a reconciliation to God.  At the revelation of Jesus comes victory over sin. 

Romans 8:37  Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  38  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,  39  nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The word has provided for every believer to be counted more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  Reconciliation between God and the believer is to the strength of sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 

Romans 8:32  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

God’s provision is based on the sacrifice of Jesus.  When Jesus poured out His soul as a sin offering the Father was appeased by it.  The object of your faith must be in the provision the Father made.  Victory over sin, death and the grave is already provided for every believer. 

1 Corinthians 1:7  so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,  8  who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  9  God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

You can count on the faithfulness of God who has called you into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ.  Oh what great provision is found in the word of God.

Acts 2:38  Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  39  "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

Your surrender to His work is all that is required.  Jesus wants to baptize every believer with the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 30:5  Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

Psalm 19:7  The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;  8  The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;  9  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.  10  More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  11  Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.

Submitting to the word of God is where maturity, and the victory provide, is experienced.  Conversely not submitting can prevent us from experiencing the victory already provided.  However the provision is not in question; the provision is sure base upon the authority of the word of  God

1 Peter 2:6  Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."  7  Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"  8  and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.  9  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  10  who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 

The scripture makes clear the believer is a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people.  The sure word of God has declared who the believer is and the purpose the believer is called to.  We the believer are called to proclaim His praises.  To you who believe He is precious; Jesus is so precious!

Hebrews 7:22  by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.  23  Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.  24  But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.  25  Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. 

God’s sure word has brought us into a better covenant that brings salvation to the uttermost!  Jesus, our High Priest, lives to make intercession for us.  Lean into the greatness of the provision and be a partaker of the fullness of the covenant.

Hebrews 8:6  But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.  7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

Jesus Christ is the sure foundation that has brought to us  a better covenant which is established on better promises.  God’s word is the sure word that can bring every believer to abundant life, leading us into triumph, and walking with victory over all sin.

Hebrews 9:9  It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience;  10  concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.  11  But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.  12  Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.  13  For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,  14  how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 

The blood of Jesus purged our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.  The old covenant could only offer a temporary purify of the flesh.  The blood of Jesus purges a conscience from dead works and joins us to God's Spirit to spirit.  This is the sure word that will set the believer free.

Matthew 4:4  But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"

It is time for us to hear what the Spirit is saying about Jesus and all He has done at the cross.

Matthew 17:1  Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;  2  and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.  3  And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.  4  Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."  5  While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"  6  And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.  7  But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid."  8  When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

The word came directly from the mouth of God “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”.  Moses represented the law and how it spoke of the coming Messiah, and Elijah spoke of the all the prophets that point to the Messiah.  Jesus Christ is the substance of what the law and the prophets pointed to; now we have been appointed to hear the words of life from Jesus!

Matthew 11:28  "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29  "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30  "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
