This document discusses Jesus' statement that Scripture cannot be broken. It provides four reasons from Scripture why this is the case: 1) The Bible is given by God and inspired, 2) History and prophecies have proven it correct, 3) The gospel contained in Scripture saves those who believe, and 4) Scripture will judge all people at the last day. The document uses multiple Bible verses to support each of these four reasons for why Scripture, as the word of God, cannot be broken or altered.

said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not
5. John 10:30-38
do the works of My Father, do not
believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do
not believe Me, believe the works, that
you may know and believe that the
Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
6. John 10:35
“If He called them gods, to whom
the word of God came (and the
