By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going. — Hebrews 11:8

Everything you see is fading. The grass withers, the flower fades — beauty, youth, wealth, even your own life. But the word of our God stands forever. Peter quoted this to remind us that we've been born again through the living and abiding word of God. When everything else fails, God's word holds.
