What does the Bible say about the value of God's Word?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible states that God's Word is more desirable than gold, reflecting its supreme value and purity (Psalm 19:10, Psalm 119:72).
The Scriptures illustrate the tremendous value of God's Word through various comparisons. It is described as more to be desired than gold, emphasizing that it surpasses even the most precious earthly treasures. For instance, Psalm 19:10 declares, 'More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold,' which reveals the exalted esteem in which believers hold the Word of God. Similarly, Psalm 119:72 proclaims that 'the law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver,' reinforcing the belief that spiritual wealth far outweighs material gain. As believers, we are called to treasure the teachings and promises of Scripture as our most invaluable possession.
