Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,so as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding;if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures:then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.To them it was revealed, that they served not to themselves, but to you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

“ You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.Every Scripture is God- breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.

Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.

Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.

My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.

He said to them,“ This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

You are King of Israel!”

They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
