Beloved, the greatest gift saints and Bible days believers enjoyed most from God, your loving Father, was His unfailing , unchanging, eternal word. All that Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua had and they did extraordinary exploits were the dependable words of God. See an instance.
Gen 15:5 — Gen 15:6 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Rom 4:18 — Rom 4:21 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
The reasons while they believe the word of God could be summarised as follows :
1. Settled forever in heaven.

And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein
3. It will do exactly what it says.

5. His words are the pathway for prosperity and success.

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:12 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
