• 约伯记 42:2

我知道，你万事都能做；你的计划不能拦阻。

• 马太福音 24:35

天地要废去，我的话却绝不废去。

如果上帝的旨意是要我们拥有祂的话语——一封给祂的子民提供指引和教导的书信，那么祂的旨意怎么可能受阻呢？约伯认识到上帝的大能势不可挡，所以他在约伯记42:2里基本上是在说：“祢要什么事发生，就会发生！”这句话也能够套用在上帝的话语上——既然祂是全能的，祂怎么可能会允许人在圣经传承的过程中干扰或搅乱祂的话语呢？

圣经虽然历经无数世代，越过大洲洋海，但其字句竟然传承得极其准确，如今还人手一本，真是太惊人了。更令人惊叹的是，上帝做这一切，就是为了要让我们得到祂话语的文字记录，好叫我们认识祂儿子耶稣的故事。上帝通过许多具体的方式向人类彰显了祂的爱，圣经便是其中之一。

• Job 42:2

I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

• Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

If God’s plan was for us to have His word, a written letter to His people to guide them and instruct them, how could that plan go wrong? Job recognizes God’s incredible power here by basically saying – ‘If You want it to happen, it’s going to happen!’ This can be applied to His word – why would He let anyone along the way interfere/mess up His Word when He is all-powerful?

This is astonishing in light of the incredible accuracy of the Bible throughout generations, across continents, and now to be found in the hands of nearly anyone today. And to think that He did that all so that we could have His written Word & know the story of His Son Jesus. The Bible is just one of the many practical ways God has shown His love to mankind.

求上帝加增我们的信心，使我们确信关于祂自己的启示，也确信祂无所不能，包括能使祂的话语毫无谬误地流传两千多年，直到我们这个时代。

Ask God to increase our faith that He is who He says He is, and He can do anything – including get His word to us, even across 2,000 years, without flaw or error.
