THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD
The Word of God is not simply a collection of words from God, a vehicle for communicating ideas; it is living, life-changing, and dynamic as it works in us. With the incisiveness of a surgeon’s knife, God’s Word reveals who we are and what we are not. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life. It discerns what is within us, both good and evil. The demands of God’s Word require decisions. We must not only listen to the Word, we must also let it shape our lives.
Nothing can be hidden from God. He knows about everyone everywhere, and everything about us is wide open to his all-seeing eyes. God sees all we do and knows all we think. Even when we are unaware of His presence, He is there. When we try to hide from him, he sees us. We can have no secrets from God. It is comforting to realize that although God knows us intimately, he still loves us.
One way to evaluate spiritual maturity is by looking at the choices we make: Teaching others rather than just being taught; Developing depth of understanding rather than struggling with the basics; Self-evaluation rather than self-criticism; Seeking unity rather than promoting disunity; Desiring spiritual challenges rather than desiring entertainment; Careful study and observation rather than opinions and half-hearted efforts; Active faith rather than cautious apathy and doubt; Confidence rather than fear; Feelings and experience evaluated in the light of God’s Word rather than experiences evaluated according to feelings.
God’s power is revealed and experienced in His Word. "Is not my word like fire?" declares the Lord, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock? Therefore behold, I am against the prophets," declares the Lord, 'who steal my words from each other.'
(Jeremiah 23:29-30).
In other words, only the true word of God has any power, and God opposes men who simply quote each other and attribute it to Him. The power of God’s Word is to reveal to us certain things that we could not know in any other way. Power to refute – God’s word is a standard against which all philosophies, ideas, and proposed solutions for the human condition can be measured for accuracy. Power to reproduce – Jesus said that the word of God was like a seed. The power to re-direct – every complete life-change, every turn-around that we read or hear about has one common element – God’s word. The power to revive, to reward, – the Bible tells us that the creation and our conscience are two different ways we can use to find God. And the power to get us ready – the Bible says that we will all meet God in one way or another. Either we die before He comes and face Him in judgment, or Jesus returns and we all face judgment. Either way, we must be ready!
