God's Word Doesn't Change
'All
your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.' Psalm 119:160 NIV
A publishing house advertised: Ten books to read
before you die. And the Bible didn't make the list! Amazing; it's one book you
should read! When Ann Shorb replaced her favorite cookbook with a 'New and
Updated' version, she said: 'It wasn't the same. It had been adapted
for...convenience...' Ann goes on to say: 'It seems like a lot of people are
trying to do the same thing with some of God's recipes. They’re trying to adapt
them to make them more convenient, more time saving and easier to follow.'
God's Word never changes. The results of sin are the same: 'The wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ...' (Romans 6:23 NKJV)
God's plan for salvation hasn't changed: ‘By grace you have been saved through
faith...not of works, lest anyone should boast.' (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV) His
method for finding guidance is still: ‘The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the
Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.' (Psalm 19:7-8 NKJV) His solution for
anger is the same: 'Rest in the Lord...Cease from anger, and forsake wrath...it
only causes harm.' (Psalm 37:7-8 NKJV) To find peace we still should: 'Be anxious
for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known...and the peace of God...will guard your hearts
and minds...' (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV) The Psalmist said, 'All your words are
true; all your righteous laws are eternal.' Bottom line: you can't 'new and
improved' God's Book!
