We should keep in mind that when the Bible speaks of God’s Word remaining forever, it cannot be referring to it being kept hidden away in some vault in heaven. God’s Word was given specifically for mankind, and it would not be fulfilling its purpose if it were not available to us. “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Romans 15:4).
Sa tuwing sinasabi ng Bibliya na ang Salita ng Diyos ay mamamalagi magpakailanman, hindi ito nangangahulugan na ang Bibliya ay nasa isang nakatagong lalagyan sa langit. Ibinigay ang Salita ng Diyos sa sangkatuhan at hindi nito gaganapin ang kanyang layunin kung hindi ito ipinahayag sa atin. "Anumang nasa Kasulatan noon pang una ay nasulat sa ikatututo natin, sapagkat lumalakas ang ating loob at nagkakaroon ng pag-asa kapag binabasa natin ang mga aral na matatagpuan dito" (Roma 15:4).
