Deuteronomy 32:2

2May amy teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and blike showers upon the herb.

Isaiah 54:9

9 “This is like cthe days of Noah ▼
▼Some manuscripts For this is as the waters of Noah
 to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.

Matthew 24:35

35 eHeaven and earth will pass away, but fmy words will not pass away.

Luke 8:11-16

11 gNow the parable is this: The seed is hthe word of God. 12The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not ibelieve and be saved. 13And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it jwith joy. But these have no root; they kbelieve for a while, and in time of testing lfall away. 14And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but mas they go on their way they are choked by the ncares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and obear fruit pwith patience.

Romans 10:17

17So vfaith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:18

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
