That Settles It

“And God said…” (Genesis 1:3)

The above is a phrase that is found ten times in the first chapter in the Bible.  That, or a similar phrase, is found numerous additional times in all sixty-six books of the Bible.  It is found in relation to moral issues, doctrinal issues, questions of salvation and eternal life and questions on the second coming of Christ and the hereafter.

Someone said, “God said it, I believe it and that settles it.” That is only partially correct. The accurate statement is, “God said it and that settles it.” One does not change the Bible by unbelief or popular opinions. The psalmist said, “Forever, Oh Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89) The councils of men cannot change it. If God said it, that settles it.
