In last week’s message “Walking The Walk Of Faith” we began to discuss the healing relationship that God has made available through His risen Son Jesus Christ, which is being preached to the world by His Church. The Bible has been proven to be comprehensive and completely authoritative in all the promises it contains. Today’s message is to reaffirm this fact that the Word of God is still completely accurate and that it provides “Repairing News”!

New Testament Scripture Reading: Romans 11:25 – 36 KJV
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Rom 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Rom 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Rom 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Rom 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Main Points To Emphasize:
1) Jesus Christ, God The Son, was accurately prophesied and His first coming was executed in complete fulfillment of all the things that the prophets had spoken. (Luke 24:25 – 27 KJV)
2) History verifies the accuracy of the Bible, and therefore, we can also trust the Bible to accurately explain the world in which we live, both now and into eternity.
3) As the commentators of the world constantly are presenting ehat they call “Breaking News” The Bible is constantly presenting “Repairing News” to nourish the fallen human soul!
