The LIVING WORD
 |
| how long will this tiny chair hold us? |
Words are
powerful. Words can change a man’s point of view, it can affect a mother’s
emotions, it can influence, it can touch hearts and sometimes it ruins one’s
life.
But there is
the most powerful word – His words. They are written in what we call “the Bible”
Though many
have put meanings on each letter of the Bible – B I B L E, and some have
created “deeper meanings” of the name Bible itself, the word “bible” actually
came from the Greek word “biblos”
meaning “books”. And the Bible as we have them now is not just a book,
but a collection of books – sixty-six in all. The Bible was written in about 1500-year
period by 40 different authors, with people and places proven by history and
geography. For years and years, many have tried all ways to stop the spread of
the words in the Bible. But as it is God’s Word, with His power and authority
in it, it has survived and even flourished and is now available for more hands
that wanted it than in any other time in history. For, the words in the Bible indeed
did not come from man but they were spoken by the Only One True God. (2 Peter
1:21)
God wants every
people, tribe, language and nation to know Him and what He did. (Revelation 5:9)
And in Christ He came into the world, the Word becoming flesh and dwelling
among men (John1:14) He provided the Truth in His Son Jesus Christ. With Him,
through Him and by Him all the prophecies are fulfilled. His power, authority,
and who He is revealed!
Now, what is
this Word for us? Well, this word is and should be everything for us – it is
our life! His word is a mirror that shows us our sin and tells us about our
salvation. This book is about our God who suffered and died on the cross yet on
the 3rd day He rose again and He sat at the right hand of the Father.
(1 Corinthians 15) This is our salvation. His words are visible proof of His
love for us. He is alive, so are His words.
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; it judges the
thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Hebrews 4:12
