“As the rain and the
snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread
for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to
me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I
sent it” (Isaiah 55:10-12). “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” Timothy
3:16).
If I have Jesus
Christ in my life, I am never alone. If I believe in Him, do I also believe Him?
If I believe in Him, I must believe in His Truth.....God to us revealed through
His Word. If I believe His Word is His Truth, then I must believe in what it
says. I must never say I believe in Him, and not believe what He gives as Truth.
God's Word existed before all creation (John 1:1). He speaks the Word through divine
revelation in the Bible. His Word goes forth to accomplish His purposes. He
states that it will accomplish what He desires and will achieve the purpose for
which He sent it. This is straight from His Word and it is His promise of
Truth.
“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).
His Word is alive. It is living and breathing right now. Its Truth holds me
accountable for what I think, and reveals if I am living as He instructs. It
uncovers the attitude of my heart...... if there are any selfish motives or
anything that sets itself up against God's Truth or if I am His in every corner
of my heart. It shows me what must be crucified in my life, and it gives what I
need to accomplish it.
The Word's purpose is to teach me God's Truth. It
disciplines me. It rebukes what is sinful in my life. It corrects wrong
thinking, and transforms my mind. It teaches me that godliness is not just an
action. Godliness is what I need to have in my heart. The Word exposes all that
I must change. It reveals His call in my life. It give me His divine promises so
that through them I may participate in His divine nature. His Word
breathes in me, and as it does, I discover all of the promises for which He sent
it to me.
