will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John

Seven characteristics of God’s Word:

1. Perfect - effectively converts the soul. The Hebrew word for “converting”
can also be translated as “reviving” or “bringing new life to the soul”.

2. Sure - being reliable and certain…making wise in godliness those who are of
simple education because they study and trust God’s sure Word.

3. Right - morally, practically, and universally…because they are words from


our God Who is holy, true, and always right. Hearts in relationship with God
rejoice because God’s Word shows us all that is right in living.

4. Pure - because God is pure and holy. We can trust it to lead us in purity as
it enlightens our eyes in this dark, sinful world.

5. Clean - therefore will endure forever. It will never fade or diminish


because of impurity. The Word is clean and it makes us clean. The fear of the Lord
comes as we read and study God’s Word gaining a deeper understanding of the awe and
majesty of God.

6. True - There is nothing false in the Word of God.

7. Righteous - There is nothing unrighteous about the Word of God.
