His Word Is a Timeless Masterpiece


Timeless, majestic, awe-inspiring, beautiful, a wonderful masterpiece to behold, God’s Word has no rival. Are you experiencing it in all its richness?

November’s Awakening, Day 3

God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.

 —A. W. Tozer

A verse must be read often, and re-read and read again before the wondrous message of love and power that God has put into it begins to appear. Words must be turned over and over in the mind before their full force and beauty takes possession of us. One must look a long time at the great masterpieces of art to appreciate their beauty and understand their meaning, and so one must look a long time at the great verses of the Bible to appreciate their beauty and understand their meaning.

 —R. A. Torrey



            God’s Word is timeless and eternal. We mortals cannot improve upon what it was sent for and the effect on the human heart and mind that was intended. It is for all people and all generations for all time. It is a beautiful and majestic masterpiece, growing more wonderful with every viewing. To comprehend and appreciate it in its fullness requires viewing it again and again, growing with ever-increasing fondness for the intricacies of its splendor. It is an awesome and amazing wonder of this eternal world, marvelous to behold and melodious to the ear, with a transforming power never to be seen or heard or experienced in any other great work in our existence.  Delve deep into its depths. You are in the very presence of God.
