The Eternal Word That Unlocks God’s Promise for All

❗Not every message is the true Gospel. The Word of Truth must be handled correctly.

📖 2 Corinthians 11:4
"For if a person comes and preaches ANOTHER JESUS, whom we did not preach, or you receive A DIFFERENT SPIRIT, which you had not received, or a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, which you had not accepted, YOU PUT UP WITH IT SPLENDIDLY!"

📖 Galatians 1:6-9
"I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called you by the grace of Christ and are TURNING TO A DIFFERENT GOSPEL—[7] not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to DISTORT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. [8] But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you ANOTHER GOSPEL contrary to what we have preached to you, A CURSE BE ON HIM! [9] As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you ANOTHER GOSPEL contrary to what you received, A CURSE BE ON HIM!"

❗Do not fall into the trap of arguing about words or their definitions—it leads only to ruin.

📖 2 Timothy 2:14
"Remind them of these things, and charge them before God NOT TO ARGUE ABOUT WORDS. This is USELESS and LEADS TO THE RUIN OF THOSE WHO LISTEN."

This is exactly what happens when people refuse to accept what Scripture plainly says.

Many will argue that:

🚫 "All" does not really mean all—except when they want it to.
🚫 "Savior of the world" does not mean He actually saves the world—it just means He offers salvation (but doesn’t complete it).
🚫 "Reconcile all things" does not actually mean all things—it just means some things.

They do this instead of rightly handling the Word of Truth—but God's Word warns against such arguments.

❗This is why the very next verse commands us to correctly teach the Word of Truth.

📖 2 Timothy 2:15
"Be diligent to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed, correctly TEACHING (making straight) THE WORD OF TRUTH."

❗ The Gospel and The Word of God were taught directly from the Old Testament—Paul proved this.

Acts 28:23-24
he was explaining to them by solemnly BEARING WITNESS ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from BOTH THE LAW OF MOSES AND FROM THE PROPHETS, from morning until evening. [24] And some were being persuaded by the things spoken, but others were not believing.

❗But what exactly is the Word of Truth? Many assume it is the entire Bible—but does Scripture itself ever say this?

📖 Acts 17:11-13,18
"The people here were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, since they received the WORD with eagerness and examined the SCRIPTURES daily to see if these things were so. Consequently, many of them believed, including a number of the prominent Greek women as well as men. But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the WORD OF GOD had been proclaimed by Paul at Berea, they came there too, agitating and upsetting the crowds. Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also debated with him. Some said, 'What is this ignorant show-off trying to say?' Others replied, 'He seems to be a preacher of foreign deities'—because he was telling the GOOD NEWS about Jesus and the resurrection."

🔍 Notice the distinction.

💡 They received the WORD but examined the SCRIPTURES.
💡 Paul proclaimed "The Word of God"—and what was he preaching? The Good News (Gospel) of Jesus and the resurrection!

📖 John 5:39-40
"You search the Scriptures because YOU THINK YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN THEM, and yet THEY TESTIFY ABOUT ME. But you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life."

🔍 Jesus makes the distinction clear.

💡 The Scriptures testify about Him.
💡 But eternal life is in HIM—not in the written text itself.
💡 This confirms that The Word is not just "words on a page"—but the living message of the Gospel.

❗The Gospel is the Word of God.

📖 1 Peter 1:23-25
For you have been born again—not of perishable seed but of imperishable—through the living and enduring WORD OF GOD. For, 'All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like a flower of the grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the Word of God endures forever.' And THIS WORD IS THE GOSPEL THAT WAS PROCLAIMED (declared) TO YOU.

📖 Isaiah 40:6-9, 21
The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the WORD OF OUR GOD remains forever... Zion, herald of GOOD NEWS, go up on a high mountain. Jerusalem, herald of GOOD NEWS… Have you not heard? HAS IT NOT BEEN DECLARED TO YOU FROM THE BEGINNING?

❗The Scriptures testify, but the Word of Truth—the Gospel—is what brings salvation.

📖 Ephesians 1:13
In Him you also trusted, after you heard THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL of your salvation;

📖 Colossians 1:5-6
You have already heard about this hope in the WORD OF TRUTH, the GOSPEL that has come to you. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world, just as it has among you since the day you heard it and came to truly appreciate God’s grace.

❗It is His unbreakable promise, declaring the end from the beginning.

📖 Isaiah 46:10
DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel(plan) shall stand, And I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE,'

📖 Isaiah 40:6-9, 21
The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God remains forever... Zion, herald of GOOD NEWS, go up on a high mountain. Jerusalem, herald of GOOD NEWS… Have you not heard? HAS IT NOT BEEN DECLARED TO YOU FROM THE BEGINNING?

❗It is the Word sent forth to accomplish His purpose—and it will prosper in what pleases Him.

📖 Isaiah 55:11
So shall MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH FROM MY MOUTH; It shall not return to Me void, But IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

❗From His mouth come knowledge and understanding, and all His words are clear.

📖 Proverbs 2:3-6
Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; THEN you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING;

📖 Proverbs 8:8-9
ALL THE WORDS FROM MY MOUTH are righteous; NONE OF THEM ARE DECEPTIVE or perverse. [9] ALL OF THEM ARE CLEAR to the perceptive, and right to those who discover knowledge.

❗It is the Word that has gone out of God’s mouth and shall not be revoked—💥THIS IS THE GOSPEL💥.

📖 Isaiah 45:22-23
Look to Me, and be saved, ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself; THE WORD HAS GONE OUT OF MY MOUTH in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, EVERY TONGUE SHALL SWEAR ALLEGIANCE.

❗Therefore, do not add to His words, or you will be proven a liar.

📖 Proverbs 30:6
Don't add to HIS WORDS, or he will rebuke you, and YOU WILL BE PROVED A LIAR.

❗It is the Word that took on flesh and was fulfilled in Christ.

📖 John 1:1,14
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. THE WORD BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us.

❗God made known the mystery of His will—His purpose set forth in Christ, as His plan to unite all things in Him.

📖 Ephesians 1:9-10
making known to us the MYSTERY OF HIS WILL, according to HIS PURPOSE, which he set forth in Christ [10] as A PLAN for the fullness of time, TO UNITE ALL THINGS IN HIM, things in heaven and things on earth.

❗This was according to His eternal purpose, which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

📖 Ephesians 3:10-11
This is so that GOD'S MANIFOLD WISDOM may now be made KNOWN THROUGH THE CHURCH to the rulers and authorities in the heavens. [11] This was in accordance with THE ETERNAL PURPOSE WHICH HE ACCOMPLISHED IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

❗For it pleased God to have all His fullness dwell in Christ and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself.

📖 Colossians 1:19-20
For God was PLEASED to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and THROUGH HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.

❗Jesus was lifted up on the cross to fulfill what God swore in Isaiah 45:22-23—that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Him as Lord.

📖 Philippians 2:9-11
FOR THIS REASON, God highly EXALTED (lifted up) Jesus and gave Him the name that is above every name, SO THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE WILL BOW—IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH—AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the GLORY of God the Father.

❗Jesus was lifted up to draw all people to Himself, fulfilling God’s sworn promise that every knee will bow.

📖 John 12:32
As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth I WILL DRAW ALL PEOPLE TO MYSELF.

❗No one can confess Jesus as Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

📖 1 Corinthians 12:3
NO ONE can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

❗The Holy Spirit is received after hearing and believing the Word of Truth.

📖 Ephesians 1:13
In Him you also trusted, AFTER YOU HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION;

❗The restoration of all things will fulfill what God has sworn and spoken from the beginning.

📖 Acts 3:21
Heaven must receive him until the time of the RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS, which God spoke about through his holy prophets FROM THE BEGINNING.

📖 Psalm 145:9,14
The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over ALL His works. [14] The LORD sustains ALL who fall And raises up ALL who are bowed down.

📖 Luke 2:10
But the angel said to them, "DON'T BE AFRAID, for look, I proclaim to you GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY that will be for ALL PEOPLE.”

❗I have just one question for you—one that you cannot avoid, because God Himself has sworn it: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE CONFESSES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?

📖 1 John 4:14-15
And we have seen and we TESTIFY that the Father has sent his Son as THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. WHOEVER CONFESSES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD-GOD REMAINS IN HIM AND HE IN GOD.

📖 1 Timothy 4:9-11
This is a TRUSTWORTHY SAYING AND DESERVES FULL ACCEPTANCE.
For this reason, we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL PEOPLE, especially of those who believe. COMMAND AND TEACH THESE THINGS.

📖 Titus 2:11,15
For the grace of God has appeared, BRINGING SALVATION FOR ALL PEOPLE, [15] PROCLAIM THESE THINGS; encourage and rebuke with all authority. LET NO ONE DISREGARD YOU.

❓ But if you don’t even know what "The Word of Truth" is… how can you rightly teach or divide it?

❓ If "The Word of Truth" meant the entire Bible, wouldn’t Scripture explicitly say so?
💡 Yet not one verse gives the Scriptures this title. Instead, Scripture itself declares: "The Word of Truth is the Gospel."

❓ And where did Paul teach this Gospel from? The Old Testament—The Law and the Prophets.

❓ So let me ask you plainly: Can you teach the Gospel from the Law and the Prophets like Paul did—like what was demonstrated here?

❓ If not, are you truly handling The Word of Truth correctly?

❓ And what happens when someone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God?

💡 God remains in him, and he in God.
💡 Because the Gospel—the Word of Truth—was proclaimed from the beginning.
💡 Because Jesus was lifted up, just as God declared.
💡 Because the Savior of the world will accomplish all that He pleases.

🔥 This is why confessing Christ is the unavoidable result of The Word of Truth—the Gospel.

💡 If you reject the Gospel, you reject the very confession that brings life.
💡 But every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord—just as God has sworn.

❓ So now, what will you do?

❓ Will you continue to wrongly divide what is not "The Word of Truth," or will you handle rightly what Scripture declares it to be?

💥 God has already given the answer, and there is no room for dispute. 💥

❓ The question is not whether this is true—the question is, will you accept it?

📖 Habakkuk 2:14
For THE EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD'S GLORY, as the water covers the sea.

📖 Isaiah 25:6-8
Now the Lord of armies will prepare a lavish banquet for ALL PEOPLES on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, And refined, aged wine. And on this mountain He will destroy the covering which is over ALL PEOPLES, The veil which is stretched over ALL NATIONS. He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord God will wipe tears away from ALL FACES, And He will remove the disgrace of His people from all the earth; FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.

Luke 3:6
And ALL FLESH shall see the SALVATION OF GOD.
