God's Word is pure as it is divinely inspired and without error, meant to guide and protect believers.
The statement that 'every word of God is pure' in Proverbs 30:5 emphasizes the truthfulness and reliability of Scripture. It teaches that God's Word has a cleansing quality, and serves as a shield for those who put their trust in Him. When we engage with Scripture, we receive wisdom that is aligned with God's character and purposes. By recognizing that His Word should not be added to or diminished, we acknowledge the importance of adhering strictly to its teachings to avoid misrepresenting God's intent and risking reproof. Therefore, the purity of God's Word is foundational for faithful living.
