Power In The Word!
"So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of
God."
Romans 10:17
In the famous
movie The Ten Commandments,
whenever Pharaoh would make the decision or
issue an edict, he would say authoritatively,
“So let it be written; so let it be done!”
The royal scribes would dutifully record the
Pharaoh’s words for posterity. The
message
was clear: Pharaoh’s words were powerful;
they were the guiding force in Egypt.
The words of God are alive and powerful
(Hebrews 4:12). By His words, God spoke
in existence the earth and everything in
it.
Jesus is called the Word of God—the
incarnation of the will and words of
God (John 1:1-2).
Peter says that by God’s words—His
“great and precious promises”—we become
“partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4).
Paul writes that our faith comes by hearing
“the word of God” (Romans
10:17).
We gain power and maturity in our spiritual
life as the Spirit of God illuminates the Word
of God on a daily basis. Make God’s Word
a
priority in your life today.
"I hold one single sentence out of God’s word
to be of more certainty, and of more power,
than all the discoveries of all the learned
men of all the
ages."
Charles Spurgeon
