The Word – our Anchor!

The Word of God is our anchor; our foundation; our substance! When we depend on this unbroken Word-we shall never be move!

(Hebrews 6:13) For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

(Hebrews 6:14) saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.

(Hebrews 6:15) And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

(Hebrews 6:16) For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

(Hebrews 6:17) Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, pledged it by an oath,

(Hebrews 6:18) that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

(Hebrews 6:19) This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in within the veil,

(Hebrews 6:20) where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Remember: never ever take lightly of the Word!
For what It says stands forever…

(Matthew 5:17) Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

(Matthew 5:18) For truly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Law till all is fulfilled.

(Matthew 5:19) Whoever therefore relaxes one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.

(Matthew 24:35) Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will by no means pass away.

(1 Corinthians 15:1) Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

(1 Corinthians 15:2) by which also you are being kept safe, if you hold fast that Word which I preached to you; unless you believe in vain.

(1 Corinthians 15:3) For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

(1 Corinthians 15:4) and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

(1 Corinthians 15:5) and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.

(1 Corinthians 15:6) After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until the present time, but some have fallen asleep.

(1 Corinthians 15:7) After that He was seen by Jacob, then by each of the apostles.

(1 Corinthians 15:8) Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one of untimely birth.

(1 Corinthians 15:9) For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

(1 Corinthians 15:10) But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than every one of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

(1 Corinthians 15:11) Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believe.

(1 Corinthians 15:12) Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

(1 Corinthians 15:13) But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

(1 Corinthians 15:14) And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain and your faith is also vain.

(1 Corinthians 15:15) Yes, and we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up; if in fact the dead are not raised.

(1 Corinthians 15:16) For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

(1 Corinthians 15:17) And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

(1 Corinthians 15:18) Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

(1 Corinthians 15:19) If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

(1 Corinthians 15:20) But now Christ has been raised from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

(1 Corinthians 15:21) For since through man came death, through Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

(1 Corinthians 15:22) For as in Adam everyone dies, even so in Christ everyone shall be made alive.

(1 Corinthians 15:23) But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

(1 Corinthians 15:24) Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

(1 Corinthians 15:25) For it is necessary for Him to reign till He has put every enemy under His feet.

(1 Corinthians 15:26) The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

(1 Corinthians 15:27) For He has subjected everything under His feet. But when He says everything is subjected, it is evident that He who subjected everything under Him is exempt.

(1 Corinthians 15:28) Now when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who subjected everything under Him, that God may be everything in all things.

(1 Corinthians 15:29) Otherwise, what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead are not truly raised? Why then are they immersed for the dead?

(1 Corinthians 15:30) And why are we in danger every hour?

(1 Corinthians 15:31) I affirm, by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die throughout the day.

(1 Corinthians 15:32) If like other men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me, if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

(1 Corinthians 15:33) Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.

(1 Corinthians 15:34) Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

(1 Corinthians 15:35) But someone will say, How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?

(1 Corinthians 15:36) Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

(1 Corinthians 15:37) And what you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but mere grain; perhaps wheat or something else.

(1 Corinthians 15:38) But God gives it a body as He purposed, and to each seed its own body.

(1 Corinthians 15:39) Not every flesh is the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

(1 Corinthians 15:40) There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the brightness of the heavenly is one, and the brightness of the earthly is another.

(1 Corinthians 15:41) There is one brightness of the sun, another brightness of the moon, and another brightness of the stars; for one star differs from another star in brightness.

(1 Corinthians 15:42) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

(1 Corinthians 15:43) It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

(1 Corinthians 15:44) It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

(1 Corinthians 15:45) And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a life-giving Spirit.

(1 Corinthians 15:46) However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

(1 Corinthians 15:47) The first man was out of the earth, of dust; the second Man is the Lord out of Heaven.

(1 Corinthians 15:48) As is the man of dust, so also are those of dust; and as is the Man from Heaven, so also are those of Heaven.

(1 Corinthians 15:49) And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the Man of Heaven.

(1 Corinthians 15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

(1 Corinthians 15:51) Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed;

(1 Corinthians 15:52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(1 Corinthians 15:53) For this corruptible needs to put on incorruption, and this mortal needs to put on immortality.

(1 Corinthians 15:54) So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

(1 Corinthians 15:55) O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?

(1 Corinthians 15:56) The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.

(1 Corinthians 15:57) But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 15:58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
