Opening Scriptures before the Message
Isaiah 55:11 NASB Hebrew Greek Key Word SB So shall My word (1697) be which goes forth from My mouth (6310) It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing (6213) what I desire, (2654) And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching (1319) for reproof (1650) for correction (1882) for training (3809) in righteousness; (1343)
that the man (444) of God (2316) may be adequate, (739) equipped (1822) for every good (18) work. (2041)
2 Peter 1:19-21 And so we have the prophetic (4397) word (3056) made more sure, (949) to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining (5316) in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (2588)
But know this first (4412) of all, that no prophecy (4394) of Scripture (1124) is a matter of one's own (2398) interpretation, (1955)
for no prophesy (4394) was ever made by an act of human (444) will, (2307) but men (444) moved (5342) by the Holy Spirit (4151) spoke (2980) from God.
How to hear and understand the Gospel
God Speaks Now to Job
Job 38:1-3 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, (559)
"Who is this that darkens (2821) counsel (6098) By words (4405) without knowledge? (1847)
"Now gird up your loins like a man, (1397) And I will ask (7592) you, and you instruct Me!
God Questions Job
Job 40:6-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm, and said,
"Now gird up your loins like a man; (1397) I will ask (7592) you, and you instruct Me.
Job 42:4-7 "Hear, (8085) now, and I will speak; (1696) I will ask (7592) Thee, and do Thou instruct me.'
"I have heard (8085) of Thee, by the hearing (8088) of the ear; (241) But now my eye sees (7200) Thee;
Therefore I retract, And I repent (5162) in dust (6083) and ashes."
God Displeased with Job's Friends
And it came about after the LORD had spoken (1696) these words (1697) to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath (639) is kindled (2734) against you and against your two friends, (7453) because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant (5650) Job has.
Romans 10:14-17 How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? (191) And how shall they hear without a preacher? (2784)
And how shall they preach (2784) unless they are sent? (649) Just as it is written, "How BEAUTIFUL (5611) ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!(18)
However, they did not all heed (5219) the glad tidings; (2098) for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? (189)
So faith comes from hearing, (189) and hearing by the word (4487) of Christ. (2316)
Acts 26:17-18 delivering you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, (1484) to whom I am sending you,
to open their eyes so that they may turn (1994) from darkness (4655) to light (5457) and from the dominion (1849) of Satan (4567) to God (2316) in order that they may receive (2983) forgiveness (859) of sins (266) and an inheritance (2819) among those who have been sanctified (37) by faith (4102) in Me.'
Romans 15:4-7 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, (1319) that through perseverance and the encouragement (3874) of the Scriptures (1124) we might have hope. (1680)
Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus;
that with one accord you may with one voice glorify (1392) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory (1391) of God.
