Living and Active Word

Jan11

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.12.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭‭‭The word of God is living! Are you living?
for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.1.23.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is active. Is it actively working in you?

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.2.13.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. Are you taking up the sword?
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians‬ ‭6:17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.6.17.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Are you allowing the word to transform you? Beware . . .
He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. John‬ ‭12:48‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.12.48.NASB1995

🌹. . . but let him who has My word speak My word in truth.

God’s Word is So, So Good

Jan10

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalms‬ ‭19:7‭-‬10 ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.10.NASB1995

The Word of the Lord,
Restores the soul

Luke‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.11.NASB1995

Effectual Doer

Jan5

Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
James‬ ‭1:21‭-‬25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.21.NASB1995

Humbly receive the word.
Know the word.
A doer will practice the word.
A doer will be blessed.

Living The Word

Jan4

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
Titus‬ ‭2:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.2.11.NASB1995

The Bible. God’s word to mankind. It is important to read it, but it is even more essential that we act on it. Live it.
The Bible is our instruction manual to teach us godliness so that we may live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present world in which we live.
The Bible draws us close to our Creator, our Savior, our hope, our future and so much more. Salvation is just the beginning. Seeking God and His kingdom is our life endeavor.

🌹Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
Luke‬ ‭6:47‭-‬49‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.6.47.NASB1995

Turn To Me

Jan2

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah‬ ‭45:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.22.NASB1995

God is inclusive when it comes to the offer of salvation. He already knows that all are sinners – all nationalities, all walks of life, all ages, – and that we all fall short of His glory. But God. God simply says, turn to Me and be saved. God created all mankind, that’s everybody,  and He is the only way to salvation from the sin and corruption of each individual’s life in this world. Now is the time of salvation.

‭‭Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:2‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.2.NASB1995

Any delay could cost you your eternity. The payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross for you is eternal joy. The cost of refusing the payment made by Jesus is eternal hell. Hell does not come close to the hell you might be experiencing in your earthly life. Just remember that the choice is yours. Jesus simply says, “Turn to Me and be saved”.

‭‭🌹The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.
Isaiah‬ ‭52:10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

You Are My Witnesses

Jan1

“You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He.
Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭aNASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.10.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭These words, “You are my witnesses” holds a great responsibility. As believers in Jesus Christ, who took on our sin and saved us through His sacrificial death, we are His chosen servants. Salvation does not save us to do as we please. It is to know and understand . . .

Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, And there was no strange god among you; So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And I am God. Isaiah‬ ‭43:10‭b-‬12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.43.12.NASB1995‭‭

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.2.9.NASB1995

May your witness of Jesus bring others to believe and understand that He IS God.

🌹Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’ ”
Isaiah‬ ‭44:8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
