*THE POWER AND CHARACTER OF THE SCRIPTURES .*

_*For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in theeโฆ (Romans 9:17).*_
Some years ago, after a certain programme which had several ministers in attendance, one of them said to me, โYou talk about the Scripture as though itโs a person.โ I said, โOh, yes; it is!โ It matters that you know this: the Scripture has personality and character. This is what Jesus revealed in the various things He said about the Scripture.
His apostles captured the same truth, and propagated it. For example, our theme verse says, โFor the scripture saith unto Pharaohโฆ.โ He could have said, โFor God saith unto Pharaohโฆโ and thatโd be right, because we know that God did talk to Pharaoh; thatโs what the Scripture tells us. The Bible says Moses went to Pharaoh and said, _*โ...Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people goโฆโ*_ (Exodus 5:1).
Again, we find Paul echoing the same truth in his writing to the Galatians in Galatians 3:8. He said, _*โAnd the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.โ*_ It doesnโt say the Spirit preached to Abraham, or the Lord preached to Abraham. It says the Scripture preached to Abraham. The Scripture โtalkedโ to him.
Galatians 3:22 says, _*โBut the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.โ*_ Also, look at Galatians 4:30; it doesnโt say, โWhat saith God?โ Rather, it says, โโฆwhat saith the scripture?โ Itโs so important that you put a premium on the Scriptures.
When you want to know anything, get into the Bible to find out what God says about it. Whatever God says about it is what should
