Thesis: Scripture is to be feared and revered - honored
1. The Word of God is Sacred (v.15) * Not just good literature, self-help, history - it is holy, set apart, special in a way that is above our meaning of the word. * Very Word of God (divinely inspired) * "all" = every word in Bible is God's Word - treasure * history, archaeology, science, etc continually find Bible is true
2. The Word of God is Strong (v.15) * Itself is able to provide salvation * "These things were written so that you may believe" * "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" * sanctifies and delivers into glory
3. The Word of God is Suitable (v.16) * Word is to be used in every time and every situation a. Teaching - shows what is true, right, doctrine b. Reproof - convict of wrong thinking, doctrine, ideas c. Correction - bring from conviction to right practice d. Training - rigorous reinforcing of truth to shape for righteousness
4. The Word of God is Sufficient (v.7) * Enough by itself to mold believer into God's image * To make man able to please God and perform true good works
CONCLUSION: Are you feeding yourself the Word? Do you fear and revere the Word? Do you value the Word? Do you long for the Word?
