Verse of the Day (October 28, 2019) #BMSeminary – Peter quotes the prophet Isaiah’s words about the eternally enduring quality of the word of God (Isa. 40:6). Most of us have heard these words quoted with respect to the enduring dependability of all Scripture, and it is certainly true that the entire revelation of God’s written Word will endure forever. But notice that Peter says the word that remains forever is “the good news that was preached to you” (1 Pet. 1:25). It is the gospel itself that, according to Peter, “remains forever” (v. 25). The gospel of grace is not a passing fad, not trendy, not temporary. It is the abiding hope of the world. Even though “the grass withers, and the flower falls” (v. 24), the gospel never will. The gospel that Christians believe in has no expiration date! (Gospel Transformation Study Bible)
