Isaiah 55:11 NIV so is my word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Peter 1:19-21 NIV We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things.

For prophesy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke form God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

How to hear and understand the Gospel 

The LORD Speaks

Job 38:1-2 Then the LORD spoke to job out of the storm. He said:

"Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge?

Job 40:6-7 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:

"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

Job 42:4-7  "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'

My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."

Epilogue

After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoke the truth about me, as my servant Job has.

Romans 10:14-17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?  And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Acts 26:17-18 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them

to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

Romans 15:4-7 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? NIV


Question in the Bible

Hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?

This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.

Hebrews 10:26-28 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,

but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Hebrews 6:4-6 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the holy Spirit,

who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,

and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

Answer in the Bible

Hebrews 6:9-10 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case-- the things that have to do with salvation.

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
