The Enduring Word
Isaiah 40:8
The grass wither, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.


"The Word of the Lord endureth for ever." How do we know that? Certainly, not in the same way as we are sure of the universality of death. We know it to be true if we believe two things —

1. That God, the perfect moral being, exists.

2. That He has spoken to mare The Word of God, speaking in conscience, in revelation, is like God Himself — above the waterfloods of change; it lasts.

(H. P. Liddon, D. D.)
