more but here is a few to rejoice over.

but my words shall not pass away.

word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life.

vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not
of us.
V. Sword.
- Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) 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.

captive free.
VI. Gives Light.

when they feel the heat.

wait, and in his word do I hope.

hopeless about them.

sinning

have spoken unto you.

shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Word.

was with God, and the Word was God.

receive Christ as our personal saviour.

- Hebrews 11:3 (KJV) Through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God,
A. God’s Word has creative power.
XII. Longevity (Long
life)
- Proverbs 4:10 (KJV) Hear, O my son, and receive my
sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
A. He wants to give us life.
- Psalms 91:15 (KJV) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I
will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
1. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that
we wait so long to begin it. It is only one life we have that
soon will be past, only the things done for Christ will last.
