Matthew 24:35
Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Heaven and earth were created by God, and God has the power to end them. In this regard, Jesus' proclamation that His words are more unchanging, solid, trustworthy, and permanent than the heaven and earth constitutes one of His strongest attestations to be an eternal being. By this statement, Jesus is reassuring His followers that His words are absolutely reliable and cannot be swayed in any way. As the scriptures tell us, heaven and earth will eventually pass away. By the Word of the Lord, the present heaven and earth will be reserved for fire, to be kept for the day of judgment, and to destroy all ungodly men. God is building a new heaven and a new earth, which will serve as the place for the rest of righteousness since the first heaven and the first earth will pass away, as He foretold in His Word. The heaven and the earth will eventually pass away since this world has been contaminated by sin. The pure words of the Lord Jesus, however, are perfect. To fallen men, they are life and light and will never, ever be extinguished. God's Word endures forever, as well as the Words of His Christ for all eternity.
Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
