The oracles of God, referring to the Holy Scriptures, are divinely inspired utterances that hold great privilege and responsibility for those who believe. They are the very words of the living God, given to and through believing Jews and preserved for us in the Bible. Christians should believe, study, obey, and proclaim these oracles, which will endure forever and be the criterion for judgment in the last day.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Oracles of God Much every way, chiefly because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Romans 3, 2 and 3 This striking synonym for the scriptures, the oracles of God, occurs just three times in the Bible.
In our text, Paul emphasizes the great privilege and responsibility that was committed to the Jews when God gave his oracles to them, a word implying divinely inspired utterances. The author of Hebrews rebuked those Hebrew Christians who had still not learned the very first principles of the oracles of God, despite having been professing Christians for a long time. Finally, the apostle Peter urged his readers, If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. That is, anyone who presumes to speak for the Lord must preach the word. It is not our words, but his words that are quick and powerful.
In fact, Stephen called them the lively or living oracles. In all these references, it is clear that these oracles of God, that is, the Holy Scriptures, constitute the very utterances of the living God. They were given to and through believing Jews and are preserved for us now in our Bibles They obviously should be believed studied obeyed and proclaimed by all who consider themselves to be Christians The fact that many people reject the Bible, even claiming it is wrong in what it teaches, is irrelevant. Such claims merely display human arrogance. God's Word has been forever settled in heaven and is true from the beginning.
It will endure even after this present world has passed away and will finally be the criterion by which its detractors will be judged in the last day. Thank you. can find us.
