Hi all wanted to update this one to show that faith in God's Word alone is the sole source of eternal life.
Those who seek to tear it down do so at their own peril. In it is the light of life and without it there is only darnkess. Those who do not come to the light (the Word) do not come lest their evil deeds are exposed. This is the reason many seek to put out the light. It is a lamp and a light to our path and without it we cannot find our way to JESUS.
Let's share the scriptures...
PSLAMS 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
PSLAMS 36:9 For with you is the fountain of life:
in your light shall we see light.
PSLAMS 43:3
O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.
PSLAMS 119:105
YOUR WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.
PSALMS 119:130 THE ENTRANCE OF YOUR WORDS GIVES LIGHT; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE
PROVERBS 6:23 FOR THE COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP AND THE LAW IS LIGHT; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
ISAIAH 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM
JOHN 1:1-4; 14 [1], In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and
THE WORD WAS GOD. [2], The same was in the beginning with God. [3], All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4], In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5], And THE LIGHT (Word) SHINES IN DARKNESS; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[14]
AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMOUNG US and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
JOHN 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation, that
LIGHT (the Word) IS COME INTO THE WORLD, and men loved darkness rather than
LIGHT (the Word), because their deeds were evil. FOR EVERYONE THAT DOES EVIL HATES THE
LIGHT (the Word), neither comes to the
LIGHT (the Word), lest his deeds should be reproved. BUT HE THAT DOES TRUTH COMES TO THE
LIGHT (the Word), that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
JOHN 8:12 Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying,
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD (The Word see JOHN 1:1-4; 14): he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 [16],
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD (God breathed) and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. [17], That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
2 TIMOTHY 2:15
STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED TO GOD, a workman that needs not to be ashamed,
RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH.
JOHN 14:26 [26], But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I HAVE SAID TO YOU.
JOHN 16:13 [13], However,
WHEN HE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COME HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
JOHN 17:17 SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THE TRUTH THY WORD IS TRUTH
JOHN 8:31-32 [31], Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY WORD THEN YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES INDEED AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
EPHESIANS 2:8 [8], FOR BY GRAECE ARE YOU SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (links to)
ROMANS 10:17
FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD
..................
According to the scriptures God's salvation only comes by faith in God's WORD. If there is no Word there is no faith and if there is no faith there is no salvation to those who reject God's Words. There is no righteousness without faith as there is no faith without Gods' Word. BEWARE of those who seek to teach you contrary to the scriptures.
What are your thoughts?
ACTS 17:11 [11], These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
FRIENDLY DISCUSSION PLEASE (no flamming and goading)
God bless.
