God's Word is true and authoritative because it is divinely inspired and achieves its intended purpose, as confirmed in Hebrews 4:12.
The truth of God's Word is anchored in its divine origin and the effectiveness it has in the lives of believers. Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as alive and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, indicating that it penetrates the human heart and brings about transformation. Throughout the Scriptures, God asserts the permanence and reliability of His Word, reinforcing that it serves His purposes and is fulfilled through Christ. Thus, the consistent fulfillment of biblical prophecy and the life-changing impact of Scripture in the lives of individuals are also testaments to its truth.
