THE WORD THAT TRANSFORMS

Isaiah 40:8 – “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever”.

There is nothing like the abiding Word of God. Calvin wrote, “There is a permanent relationship between faith and the Word. Take away the Word and no faith will there remain.” Apart from the word of God we are dead in our trespasses and sins. What will awaken us from our spiritual death? The Word of God awakened in us the truth of my sinfulness and the saving work of Jesus Christ.

Only the call of the living Word of God can produce such new life. But where can we hear that call? Not in words of men or women or a religious guru. That is why the Bible is constantly under assault by secular humanists. Our conviction is that the Bible, God’s Word, is God-breathed. It was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to men. It is without error because it is God-breathed.

God is its author and the Holy Spirit moving over the minds of those whom He chose to record the permanent revelation of God insured that it is totally true and perfectly trustworthy. As we study, meditate, and memorize the Word it settles down into our hearts and we learn to think and act biblically. The Holy Spirit uses His Word to conform us to the likeness of Christ. If you are not already doing so, please make a commitment to get into the Bible daily.

It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
