Living for the Word
recognizes
God’s Word is the authority on life…
All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the man of God
may be thoroughly
equipped for every
good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Scripture supplies society with staggering
truth that has not been disproven.
The authority of Scripture challenges
us from every page, more than that
of any man, woman or child can.
When you live for the Word…
You live for what is
right
“righteousness”.
And in everything you
do,
you “do good works”.
Living in the Word
has to do with time.
Although I cannot tell you how much
time you should be in the Word…
The Word demands our attention.
Being in the Word is more than a duty…
It is a uniting in mind, spirit and body.
Psalms 1 tells us of the blessing and delight
of being and living in God’s Word.
When living in the Word you will
be transformed from this world.
Living in the world teaches us to
love and hate through our 5 senses.
In this way, the world changes
us and our inner spirit.
Where living in the Word teaches us to
love and hate from a transformed spirit.
In this way we transform the
world with the fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-26
Living by the Word
lights our path.
Psalms
119:105
The Word makes your steps firm and stable…
The steps of a good
man are ordered by the LORD:
and he delighteth in
his way.
Though he fall, he
shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Psalms
37:23-24 KJV

Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV
2 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any
double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all
creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare
before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
