There are many different takes on the Word of God today. Many different doctrines tend to undermine the purpose of the Word, breeding doubt regarding its authenticity and truth, but if your are steadfast in your faith, none will succeed. When a person has first accepted Christ as their personal Savior, it is simple to teach them that the Bible is, in fact, the Word of our sovereign God, and that it is perfect in its teachings and purpose. This is likely because it was the truth of the Word that led them to accept Christ's sacrifice in the first place. After all, were it not true, how can they truly experience salvation?

However, a person will have that faith in the Bible challenged, in the days, months and years to come. In schools and colleges, atheist teachers will try, using various tactics and sounding very intellectual, to tear that book down. While from a lost person this may be expected, the young people listening may want to place a guard against these people's claims.

Sadly, a percentage of young students who attend Christian schools and universities will fare little better. Some learned people who refer to themselves as bible teachers will endeavor to shake other people’s faith by stating that the original word of God means something quite different. The same teachers will insist that other phrases offer a better translation, in other words, they feel their word is God. However, in reality, such talk is foreign to the Apostles and other leading bible characters. They boldly proclaim that the word of God is good and confidently say "Thus said the Lord".

Read Psalm 12:6-7 to find the main reason for their confidence. The words in the psalm clearly state that the Lords words are pure. Note the psalm doesn't talk about the Word of God in general, it means exactly what it says, the Lords words are truthful and they will be preserved forever.

The times we live in are irrelevant to the truth of the Word of God. For as long as man has existed he has provided arguments to attempt to dispel the Word of God and discount its truths. Regarding this be encouraged! The Lord has promised to sustain us through His uncompromised Word! He is not a man that He should lie. He is fully able to do what he has promised, with ease. Not only does He preserve the words themselves, but also the purpose and message remain uncompromised.

The Holy Spirit, one person of the Trinity, is the Author of the Word. He stands behind it firmly, and He Himself will maintain it. Through it, we experience the life changing power it possesses, and the Word will, and does, bring lost sheep to Christ and eternal salvation on a daily basis. Let your heart find encouragement in Jeremiah 1:1, in which God firmly and clearly says: “I am watching to see that My Word is fulfilled." Just as He maintains your very life, He will maintain the words that cause your spirit to grow and flourish, making you daily more and more like His beloved Son.

If you are a believer in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, you should be aware of the fact that, the Bible is the word of God revealed to men by the Holy Spirit. The purpose of that word is to help us know who God is and how we can live a life pleasing to him trough holiness. Because the word is both true and infallible, we can put our faith in God alone.
