"Never compare this Book with other books.
Comparisons are dangerous.
Never think or say that this Book
contains the Word of God.
It is the Word of God.
It is supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in value, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in application, inspired in totality.
Read it through. Write it down.
Pray it in. Work it out.
And then pass it on.”
—Smith Wigglesworth
Like Wigglesworth, each one who has come to know and love God’s Word describes it in a multitude of ways, depending on our experiences. But how does the Bible describe itself? While studying Psalm 119, a 176-verse, alphabetical acrostic on God's Word, I created an alphabetical list of characteristics of the Word of God gleaned from Psalm 119:
