Title: The Word of the Lord is Eternal

Text:

1 Peter 1:22-25 (NLT)
²² You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
²³ For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
²⁴ As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.
²⁵ But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

Observation:

I was driving one day recently and a truck in front of me had 1 Peter 1:24-25 written on the rear wall of the truck. It was a nice motto for a lawn care company.

I am so glad and thankful for the promise and the hope of this verse.

1 Peter 1:25 (NLT)
²⁵ But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

I love this message of good news to start the week. It makes me want to breakout in a song of praise and thanksgiving to our great God.

1 Peter 1:3-5 (NLT)
³ All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,
⁴ and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.
⁵ And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I exalt your name above every name; there is none like you, no not one.

Father, I thank you for the inheritance that you have stored up for me in heaven. Lord, I thank you for the protection you provide through your power to save and to keep.

As for me, I will trust in the Lord and the eternal word of God all the days of my life. In Jesus name, Amen.

Acts 6:4 (KJV)
⁴ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
