Matthew 22:29
King James Version
29 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures,
nor the power of God.
From the previous post, through guidance of the Holy Spirit, we were able to establish that:
The WORD of GOD = ETERNAL LIFE
JESUS = ETERNAL LIFE
SCRIPTURE = ETERNAL LIFE

and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
King James Version

the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you
that believe.
Revelation 1:1-3

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand.

the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part
out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city,
and from the things
which are written in this book.
How, then, can God's WORD not be ETERNAL LIFE?
JESUS is the LIVING WATER and BREAD of LIFE.
GOD is the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATERS.
Jesus is the WORD.
Jesus is SCRIPTURE.
He must be our daily nourishment.
It's the only way to survive in a dead world.
God's WORD -- Scripture -- must live FOREVER in us.
As born again, I live, and breathe, God's WORD.
Deuteronomy 8:3
King James Version
"...but by every word
that proceedeth
out of the mouth
of the Lord
doth man live."
