Isaiah 55:11 NASB So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 

so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

2 Peter 1:19-21 NASB So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 

But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 

for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

How to hear and understand the Gospel 

God Speaks Now to Job

Job 38:1-2 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

“Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?


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; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.

Job 42:4-7 ‘Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.’

I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;


Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.”


God Displeased with Job’s Friends


It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has. 

Romans 10:14-17 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 

How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 


So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Acts 26:17-18 rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 

to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

Romans 15:4-7 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, 

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

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.
