The Word

The Word, The Bible, The Scriptures; these three nouns are interchangeable. The Word is alive. All Scripture is inspired by God. As we read and learn from The Bible, God speaks to our heart, our faith increases, and our life changes.

God’s Word lasts forever.
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord endures forever.
1Peter 1:24-25

God’s Word is alive and powerful.
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

God’s Word does what it sets out to do in our lives.
For as heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55:9 and 11

God’s Word Creates.
By The Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea together in a heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalm 33: 6-9

Believing The Word of God gives New Life.
For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God.
1 Peter 1: 23

Jesus is the Word.
In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and He was God. The Word became a Human and lived among us. We saw His glory-the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father-and He was full of grace and truth.
John 1:1 and John 1:14

In Matthew 4:4, when Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, Jesus said, “People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every Word of God”.
We pray “Give us this day our daily bread” in The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15).
We ask God to feed and meet our physical needs. We are also asking God to feed our spirits. Our spirits get fed when we read God’s Word. He wants us to feed on His Word daily.
The Word of God changes lives.
