Life Hangs On The Word Of God

Have you ever really truly considered the power of the word of God?

Not only how much power the written word has to changes our life's but the person who is the word of God.

We truly don't understand the differences between the two and how much we can't have one without the other. Life is truly hanging in the balance and is waiting for someone to share just how much God loves people.

And to do this, let us begin by introducing ourselves as well as others to the bible and live a life according and when we do, the Man on whom all things belongs to will being to manifest Himself in a way that will change the direction this world has been going.

Let it start right here, right now.

God Bless.




DEVOTIONAL FOR 

Life Hangs on the Word of God

John Piper
He said to them, “Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”(Deuteronomy 32:46–47)
The Word of God is not a trifle; it is a matter of life and death. 
If you treat the Scriptures as a trifle or as empty words, you forfeit life.

Even our physical life depends on God’s Word, 
because by his Word we were created (Psalm 33:6; Hebrews 11:3)
and “He upholds the universe by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3).

Our spiritual life begins by the Word of God: 
“Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth” (James 1:18). 
“You have been born again . . . through the living and abiding word of God” (1 Peter 1:23).

Not only do we begin to live by God’s Word, 
but we also go on living by God’s Word: 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3).

Our physical life is created and upheld by the Word of God, 
and our spiritual life is quickened and sustained by the Word of God. 
How many stories could be gathered to bear witness to the 
life-giving power of the Word of God!

Indeed, the Bible is “no empty word for you” — it is your life! 
The foundation of all joy is life.
 Nothing is more fundamental than sheer existence — 
our creation and our preservation.

All this is owing to the Word of God’s power. 
By that same power, he has spoken in Scripture for the creation 
and sustenance of our spiritual life. 
Therefore, the Bible is no empty word, but is your very life — 
the kindling of your joy!
