The Word of God is inspired: “All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness,” (2 Tim. 3:16).
The Word of God produces faith: “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ,” (Rom. 10:17).
The Word of God is good for right and true doctrine and teaching. To guard against the spiritual decease and death that may result from false teaching and doctrine. The Word of God is good to bring the reproof and rebuke we all need when we are prone to wander away and leave the God we love. One effective way to understand the importance of God’s Word is by knowing what it is. God’s Word is found in the Bible. It’s our manual and blueprint as believers. Through the Bible, we can know more about God’s character, His teachings, and His will.
The Bible is not just a book that you read and forget about. There is transforming power in the Word of God.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
The power of God’s Word lies in the fact that it comes alive. It’s active and effective. No other book in the world has this kind of power. The Bible penetrates the deepest parts of our beings- our souls, spirits, and minds. The Bible teaches us the difference between right and wrong.
