Is the Word of God Forever?

Peter continues to confirm your calling in chapter 1 of 2 Peter. This time, in 2 Peter 1:16-21, we look at how he does so as it pertains to his witnessing Christ’s glory and the prophetic word. Unlike other myths, his witness, and the witness of the Scriptures, tells of Messiah’s return.

This teaching sets forth reasons to believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It explains that God spoke through the prophets and apostles and that the Scriptures are inspired and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. The study highlights the unity of the biblical narrative, fulfilled prophecy, and historical reliability as evidence that the Bible is not merely a human book. Believers are encouraged to trust the Bible as the truthful revelation of the Creator.

In Do Whatever They Tell You, we explore Yeshua’s words in Matthew 23:2–3, where He tells the crowd to obey the scribes and Pharisees who “sit in Moses’ seat.” Did Yeshua affirm their teachings—or was He pointing to something deeper? This teaching examines the historical and textual background showing that Yeshua wasn’t validating Pharisaic tradition but affirming obedience to the words of Moses they read aloud each Sabbath (Exodus 18:13–16; Acts 15:21; Matthew 23:1–4). When understood in context, Yeshua’s command calls His followers to heed the Torah itself, not the traditions that make void the Word of God. Takeaway: Yeshua directs His people to hear Moses’ words and live them—testing every teaching by Scripture, not by man-made authority.
