Characteristics of God's Word

It is Reliable                                                             2 Samuel 7:28
 2 Samuel 7:28  For you are God, O Sovereign Lord. Your words are truth, and you have promised these good things to your servant.

It is True                                                                  I King 17:24 and John 17:17  
I King 17:24  Then the woman told Elijah, “Now I know for sure that you are a man of God, and that the Lord truly speaks through you.”
John 17:17  Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.

It is Flawless                                                            Proverbs 30:5
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God proves true.  He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. 

It is Alive and Active                                                 Hebrews 4:12
Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

It is Eternal                                                                Psalms 119:89
Psalms 119:89  Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven.

It Endures                                      Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18 and Matthew 24:35
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.” 
Matthew 5:18  I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
Matthew 24:35  Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

It Will Not Return Empty                                            Isaiah 55:11
Isaiah 55:11  It is the same with my word.  I send it out, and it always produces fruit.  It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
