“Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God” (Genesis 21:33).
Scripture says Abraham called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God. Jesus Christ is the Lord and that Everlasting God, as it is written: “But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King” (Jeremiah 10:10).
The Lord Jesus created all things in the beginning (see Hebrews 1:10). Today, God maintains the creation through His powerful Word (see Hebrews 1:3). And God’s Word will forever direct the course of the creation (see 2 Peter 3:7).
That’s why the Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). God’s Word has not changed, cannot change, and will never change. The Holy Scripture is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The good news is that God so much loved mankind He gave us everlasting life through the Scripture. And everlasting life is to know Him the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He gave to us (see John 17:3).
God’s Word is the everlasting Son of God. “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son” (1 John 5:11). Anyone who believes that the Word is the Son of God has everlasting life (see John 3:36).
Jesus Christ is the written Word of God, which is the true and everlasting Word of God. Therefore Jesus says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
It is the Word of God alone that has everlasting life because God dwells in Scripture. As the human spirit is the life of the human body, similarly God the Father is the life or the Spirit of His Son Jesus Christ (see John 5:26).
God gave everlasting life to His Son. There is one Spirit and one body (see Ephesians 4:4). The Spirit is the Father, and the body is the Son. The Father and the Son are one. That’s why Jesus says, “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30).
The Spirit of Christ is God Himself. Which is why Jesus says, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner” (John 5:19).
Whoever believes in the Scripture and receives the Bible as the Word of God shall be saved. God gave us the Holy Bible as the lifeline for our salvation: “For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame” (Romans 10:11).
God’s Word is the Lord Jesus Christ. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). The only way to be saved is to believe in the Scripture. Faith in the Holy Word of God alone is salvation (see Acts 4:12).
It is God that is speaking directly to us through the Bible. Scripture is the true Word of God Himself. Therefore God has highly elevated the Bible and given Him the highest name of Jesus Christ (see Philippians 2:9).
The Bible is that everlasting Son and the eternal home of God, which is Jesus Christ, the Everlasting God. Jesus says, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:24).
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I thank you for showing me the Bible gate to everlasting life, in Jesus name. Amen.
