The Power of God's Word

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).”


In the above verse, we see the answer. All Scripture is given by inspiration from God. That's right-every book, every chapter, every story, every word comes directly from God Himself. That is why it is so important for our lives to be built around and focused on the Scriptures. They are God's very Word to us! The Bible is indeed an amazing book.

And as God's Word, the Scriptures contain tremendous power. The Bible is like a living, sharp sword (Hebrews 4:12) that can cut through all the lies of the enemy. When we witness, when we pray, and in all of our daily activities, the Scriptures contain the keys for our victory over the enemy.

We also have the assurance that all of God's Word is true (John 17:17). In our modern world, truth is so valuable! We are bombarded every day with advertisements and messages telling us one thing or another. We read books, surf the internet, hear teachings and end up with a thousand different opinions about a thousand different things, often contradicting each other. There is only one source that we can always be sure is 100% true-that is the Word of God. Let's know the truth!

So let's be people who know God's word in a personal way. Our lives will not be changed through hype, excitement, or our own efforts-the only way we can be transformed is by the power of God's Word. Let us develop a love for the Word of God, read His Word every day, and pray that He shows us more and more of His truth through the living, powerful Word. Do you want the power? Then plug into the Word.
