Here are key Bible passages that teach Scripture is God’s word:
• 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “All Scripture is God‑breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…”

• 2 Peter 1:21 – Prophecy never came by human will, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit

Hebrews 4:12 – “The word of God is alive and active… sharper than any double‑edged sword”  • Psalm 119:160 – “All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal”

• John 17:17 – “Your word is truth”  • Isaiah 40:8 – “The grass withers… but the word of our God endures forever”

• Proverbs 30:5 – “Every word of God is flawless…” 
These verses directly teach that the Bible is God‑breathed, true, eternal, and authoritative.

Here are key Scripture passages where Jesus directly commands his followers—those who are children of God through faith—to go out with his message:

• Matthew 28:19-20 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” This is the Great Commission, given to Jesus’ disciples as the children of God.

� • Mark 16:15 – “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Jesus’ clear command to go and share the good news.

• Luke 24:47 – He tells them “repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations.” The mission to go is rooted in his authority.

John 20:21 – “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Jesus sends his followers out just as he was sent.

• Acts 1:8 – “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Directed to those empowered by the Spirit—God’s children—calling them to go.

These verses show Jesus commanding his disciples—who become children of God through faith (John 1:12; Romans 8:14)—to go into the world, make disciples, and proclaim the gospel.

A few key passages show Jesus crying out directly to God:

A few key passages show Jesus crying out directly to God:

On the cross
• Matthew 27:46 — about three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) � • Mark 15:34 — same cry in Aramaic, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”

Luke 23:46 — Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” �
Earlier prayers in deep distress

• Hebrews 5:7 — during his earthly life, Jesus offered prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save him from death.

These verses capture moments when Jesus cried out to God in anguish, entrustment, and prayer.

Here are the main Bible passages that say every knee will bow:
• Philippians 2:10-11 – “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

• Isaiah 45:23 – God declares, “By myself I have sworn…‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.’”

• Romans 14:11 – quoting Isaiah: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.” �
Revelation also pictures all creation worshiping God and the Lamb

(Rev 5:13), echoing that universal bowing. These verses together teach that ultimately everyone—heaven, earth, and under the earth—will acknowledge God’s authority.

Job 19:25 is the key verse: “For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” (KJV). It’s Job’s bold declaration of a living Redeemer who will vindicate him—quoted widely in devotionals and hymns.

If you want the immediate context, Job 19:26‑27 continues the thought: “…yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself…”.

The Bible actually teaches that God’s word never fails—it always accomplishes his purpose—but unbelief can keep someone from receiving its benefit. A few key passages:

• Romans 9:6 – “Not as though the word of God has taken none effect.” Paul explains that some Israelites didn’t believe, not because God’s word was powerless, but because they rejected it. The word still works; it just doesn’t profit those who refuse it.

• Romans 3:3-4 – “What if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.” Human unbelief doesn’t cancel God’s faithfulness..

• Hebrews 4:2 – The Israelites heard the good news, “but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.” The word is effective, but faith is required to receive it.

• 1 Corinthians 2:14 – The “natural man” regards God’s word as foolishness and cannot understand it without the Spirit. Unbelievers reject it, not because it lacks power, but because they lack spiritual discernment.

• John 8:47 – Jesus says, “He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” Rejection reflects the listener’s condition, not a defect in the word.

• 1 Corinthians 2:14 – The “natural man” regards God’s word as foolishness and cannot understand it without the Spirit. Unbelievers reject it, not because it lacks power, but because they lack spiritual discernment.
