The Settled Word of God

It will do everyone good, saints and sinners alike, to know that God's Word
is settled in heaven.  If the unsaved person has doubts about the Bible he
will find it difficult to believe.  If the saved person, the Christian, is struggling with whether of not the Bible is God's Word and whether or not it is true, he will be forever hunting for "loop-holes" he can go through to excuse his disobedience.

Psalm 119:89 says, "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."

First of all, God's Word is settled as to its antiquity.  The word forever means without beginning or ending.  The Word of God reaches back beyond the
beginning and forward past the ending. God's Word tells us how things began
and we can look in its pages to see how things will end.

Second, God's Word is settled as to its authorship. The Bible says of itself, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." (II Tim. 3:16) and, "Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."  (II Peter 1:21)

And third, God's Word is settled as to its authority.  The Word of God, the Bible, is the final authority on matters of eternal life, morality, doctrine and relationships among humans.
