It is Written -- S3E6
from Life Beyond the Summit Hosted by Steve Crowdus
God’s word is life changing. In Hebrews 4:12, the writer proclaims “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow and attitudes of the heart.” The Bible is the portal through which we enter into relationship with God, know and understand Him, and begin to understand His purpose for our own lives. God’s word comes alive, through faith, and faith itself a gift (Eph 2:8). God did not leave us to our own in these matters, but rather God provided a Helper, the Holy Spirit, in order to reveal the truth of his Gospel to mankind. Even Jesus himself, only did what his father in heaven instructed him to do. Matthew 4:1-4 shares the story of Jesus in the desert. Having gone without food for forty days and nights, Satan presumed on Jesus’ hunger when encouraging to turn a stone into bread. But, Jesus would not turn to his own need and means to find satisfaction, but rather referred back to God’s Word – “It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” So too our knowledge of God and his will and purpose for ours lives, come through knowing the God of His Word, the Bible, allowing it to transformed through “washing of the water of the Word.”
