Inspiration Explains Itself

Its inspiration makes the Scripture a Divine Light which can never fail. Men may fail it and turn their backs upon it; but all undimmed it shines on throughout the centuries. Clearly, our attitude to a man's word is our attitude to him. But how much more does God's word represent God. When our first parents withheld trust in what God had said, little did they realize they were abandoning God himself. No one can maintain faith in the Father, and at the same time reject or ignore his word.How remarkable that the very first assault of evil on this earth was upon what God had said! Yea, hath God said? . . . Lest ye die . . . Ye shall not surely die. This Satanic line of opposition has never ceased from that day to this. All onset upon the Bible runs true to form. The van of the devil's army is still blasting away at the Scriptures. However, this long war upon the word will completely fail despite all Satan's wiles and persistence. This mighty conflict of the ages will end in the utter rout of all the enemies of Holy Writ. The truth of Jehovah endureth for ever (Ps. 117: 2). But the Word of the Lord abideth for ever (1 Peter 1: 25).
