TURN TO THE BOOK—THE LIVING WORD OF GOD

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”—Hebrews 4:12

 

Have you ever wondered why some people get so excited about the Word of God?  There is a reason why it is the best selling book of all time.  There has never been another collection of writings like the Bible and there never will be.  It is the Book of books—truth worth living by and dying for.

 

No other writing contains the mind of God and reveals the true path to salvation.  There are many other books that claim there are the many ways to salvation, but only the Bible tells us that there is only one way—Jesus.  The Bible’s doctrines are holy, and its precepts are binding.  This sacred Book provides light to guide us, food to nourish, comfort to cheer our hearts, and an anchor in the times of a storm.  It has been called the traveler’s map; the pilgrim’s walking staff, the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s charter. 

So that people can know the Lord, Bible translators living all over the world in distant village’s labor to translate at least one book of the gospel into obscure languages.  Countless pastors stand in pulpits all over the world to proclaim the life—changing message of the Scripture. 

 

Millions of lives are being transformed daily by its timeless truth.  There is no single promise in God’s Word that He has ever failed to keep.  Scripture encourages’ us in times of adversity.  It gives us strength when we feel weak. This is the Book that we can turn to again and again and be reminded that our sins have been forgiven—and that no matter what happens; we have a loving Father, a helper in the Holy Spirit, and a Savior in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 

Celebrate the living Word of God by turning to it regularly, humbling yourself and being eager to learn. 

 

Prayer—Father I thank You for Your Word.  Help me to remember that Your Word is a living thing that will affect my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
