What does the Bible say about dont question gods word?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible calls us to trust God’s true and enduring word with humble faith, while also testing teachings carefully rather than accepting every human claim uncritically. Psalm 33:4 declares that the Lord’s word is upright and faithful, and Isaiah 40:28 reminds us that his wisdom is beyond our searching out. Yet 1 John 4:1 commands believers to test the spirits, and 1 Peter 3:15-17 calls us to give a gentle, reverent defense of our hope. God’s Word does not fear honest, submissive inquiry; it corrects our doubts and directs us to Christ, who upholds all things by his powerful word (Hebrews 1:3).
