HOW GOD REGARDS HIS OWN WORD

The following text brings great cheer to the heart! It reveals a significant insight as to how God regards His own word.

You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.”
Psalm 12:7-8
