All books of the Bible are in perfect harmony. Everything you need to now is found in this book. This is the only book written by God. It is the only book that can give life. At the time of the Reformation, the scripture was written and spoken in Latin. The word of God was restricted to the pope and the priest. Jeremiah 36 is a microcosm of the entire Bible
1. publication of God's word (1-2) Take what God has spoken and write it down. It needed to be written down so it could be passed on. These were God's words. The printing press allowed people to read Luther's 95 theses.
2. purpose of God's word (3) It may be.... There is a warning. Great is the fury he says later on (7). How can you escape the damnation of hell? God gives the warning so people may repent. The Pharisee saw no need for repentance, but the publican did. God desires to forgive but there is no forgiveness without repentance.
3. proclamation of God's word (4-6) Therefore, go...It is proclaimed in the Lord's house. We cannot assume people that come to church are saved. It was proclaimed to the king (21).
4. pardoning in God's word (7a) When they return, God will pardon. The way of escape is not by praying the rosary.
5. punishment in God's word (7b) Fury is for sure. Purgatory is an illusion
6. perseverance of God's word (23-31) The king burned the Word. God told Jeremiah to write it again. God is giving them a second chance. God perseveres with sinful people.
7. perpetuity of God's word (32) And there were added besides unto them many like words.The grass withers and the flower fades but God's word remains forever. The king could not stop God's word.
