The document discusses the importance and power of God's word as revealed in scripture. It notes that the disciples could relate their eyewitness experience of Jesus' transfiguration on the Mount because they had God's word in writing to back up their testimony. It then provides numerous Bible verses emphasizing that the word of God is perfect, eternal, a light, spirit, judge, saves souls, true, faithful, settled in heaven, should not be blasphemed, pure, and holy.

1. The Word
Could you imagine being one of only
three disciples invited to experience the
Mount of transfiguration, now think how

trying to sell an imagined fairy tell.

received from God the Father
honour and glory, when there came such a voice
to him Christ
from the excellent glory, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

heard, when we were with him Christ
in the holy
mount.

prophecy;
Than the voice which came from heaven
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

scripture is of any private interpretation.

to the wheat?

there is no light in them.
