When God brought the Hebrews out of Egypt He gave Moses the Ten Commandments, the foundation of God’s people! When Jesus asked Peter who he thought He is Peter confessed that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus told Peter He would build His church upon him and the gates of hades would not prevail against it. God’s word, Christ’s people still prevail today. Think about it; Peter stood up at pentecost and taught people from all nations and languages and they were able to understand Peter because God opened their ears to hear. The church began to grow. God’s word is published in many languages and is available in paper, internet, and many apps. God’s word has prevailed and will never die! Will we read it? Are we listening?
