God's Eternal Word of the Gospel


Isaiah 40:5-8
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”  6 The voice said, “ Cry out!” And he said, “ What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.  7 The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass.  8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”

1 Peter 1:23-25.  having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.  The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

God's word shows us how glorious He is and how easily we wither away by the breath that made us, for we are both mortal and sinful.  Yet the good news in Christ is the word given to give us a new birth, breathing unending life into those who so believe and receive Jesus Christ!
