Revelation of the word.
Topic: Power of The Word.
Main text: Psalms 119:11.
The Word of God has not only power to protect from error, but from sin as well.
What the power of the Word of God do?
1. It reveals. Gen 1:2.
The word of God has the power to reveal to us certain things that we could not know in any other way. For example:
- How and when the world was created.
-The reason man is the way he is - sin.
-The true nature of God.
-What happens to us after we die.
2. It reproduce. Luke 8: 11.
Jesus said that the word of God was like a seed. The analogy was that the Word had the power to grow or cause growth to happen. The Word planted in an honest and obedient heart can produce physical acts which can be seen and felt. God's word, planted in human hearts generation after generation, has produced Christians and the New Testament church century after century.
3. It redirects
Many people have improved or changed their lives in a significant way based on a desire to improve. History shows, however, that only God's word has the power to completely transform and re-direct one's life in a totally opposite direction.
4. It heals. Acts 8:7, Luke 7:7, Matt 8:8.
In every Christian is the power to heal. At salvation, we acquired all of it. just speak to a situation with the power of God within you. All through the Word of God, we are told of the curative nature of the Word of God, or we see the healing power of the Word in someone's life
5. It performs miracle. Acts 8:6.
6. It Lights our path. Psalm 119: 105. Psalm 19:8. Prov 6:23.
When we walk through unknown terrain in the dark, we use a light in order to see our way. That is a picture of what the word of God does for us in a world that lies in the pitch darkness of sin. We can know nothing of God's way of salvation apart from the Bible. Furthermore, the Bible gives light to the Christian on the pathway of right doctrine, showing up at the same time the pitfalls of false teaching alongside the road, so that he may not fall into them.Without that light, he would never know what was false and what was true.
