How God Fastens Things

Sharing Options

“There can only be one fixed point in the created world, and that is the Word of God. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of the Lord endures forever (1 Pet. 1:24). But note what this does — the constant (considered as absolute) is the Word of God. But this Word fastens something in the created order. It is a secure truth, nailed down by God’s Word, that grass withers. That is the way it is — not because ultimate and autonomous witherdom resides within the grass, but rather because God spoke it that way” (Against the Church, p. 137).
