The Gift Of God's Word

Text: John 17: 7 - 8

THE GIFT OF GOD’S WORD

The Word of God is unfortunately taken too much for granted. Jesus’ prayer reflected His regard for the Word that came from God.

“Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.” 

John 17:7-8

All of these things came from God directly. The Disciples now fully knew this great truth!
