“Do your hearts not burn when I open the Scriptures to you? It is I who opens your minds so you can understand my Father’s word. All Scripture comes alive by the breath of my Father. The one who is wise accepts all Scripture not as man’s words, but as the word of my Father. His word is always at work in those who believe, for my Father’s word is alive and active.

“No prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation, for prophecy never had its origin in the will of man. Rather, prophets spoke as my Father directed. They were carried along by his Holy Spirit. Therefore, search the Scripture, for man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of Father. His Spirit teaches the spiritual realities of his word.

“Incline your ear to listen and hear that you may live. Those who hear my voice and believe will live. Whoever obeys my Father’s word will never see death.” — Jesus
