How has God's Word been a living power for you?
The term Word of God is a dynamic, impacting, powerful word that meant God's "true Truth," as it is active as God and His living power accomplishes His purpose. In John 1 and Hebrews 4 it referred to the eternal and incarnate Jesus.
For anyone who knows Jesus The Lord as Savior and LORD. This is the logos that John used to refer to Christ as penetrating the universe. God's Word has been given orally, directly to His Prophets and Apostles, and then written down by the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Most Christians were only able to hear the written Word at church and most churches only had a shared copy of a letter and/or a Gospel.
Nevertheless, the Bible is the "container" of God's Word; it holds His plan, precepts, and instructions for life and living out the Christian journey. The Bible is His chosen prime instrument to make Himself known and used by the Holy Spirit to do as this passage testifies.
(Joshua 1:8; Psalm 18: 21-22; 107:20; 119:11; 147:18; Isa. 40:8; 55:11; John 1:1-14; 15:7; 1 Cor. 10:5-13; Gal. 3:8; Eph. 5:26; James 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23; 1 John 5:14-15).
God’s Word is the key, and His precepts are the engine to life, relationships, growth, and maturity that leads to joy and contentment and a life worth living-happy and purposeful, a life that will impact others because He has first impacted us-you and me. The point is that God wants us to spend time in and with Him. His Word, the Bible, is the primary platform for us to know and grow in Him. It lays out His institutions and gives us hope; it shows us where to go so we can grow. When we read and meditate in His Word, we gain so much. When we forsake our responsibilities and refuse to know Him or obey Him, we gain the consequences and lost opportunities for ourselves.
Life without Christ leaves a life of want and waste that is never satisfied or at peace. It leaves a life that is not content and a life that is stressed and overwhelmed because He is just on the outside looking in. We need Him to not only look us over but to give of Himself; Jesus Christ has done this and He will continue to do so. The key is to not just know, but to also apply and do His precepts to the best for His glory. You just need to allow His force and power upon you, learn from Him, and be in Him. One day you will give an answer directly to God for your life, it is best to hear well done….>
