One of the most remarkable ways God speaks to us is through His Word. His Word is who He is. Therefore, it is impossible to truly know Him without knowing His Word.
You may experience God’s presence from time to time in your life, but you will never fully develop a relationship with Him without the Bible. If you want to know God, know His Word. It is alive and active, able to do more than you can imagine.
The Word of God is our foundation.
The Word of God is our cornerstone. We must build our lives on the firm foundation of His promises. But, we cannot stand firm in our faith if we do not know His Word.
“A Bible that’s falling apart, usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”
- Charles Spurgeon
2. If you do not know His promises, how can you stand firm on them?
When you get into the Word, the Word gets into you.
Most people just skim through the Bible, if they read it at all. For most believers, the only Word they hear is from their Pastor on Sunday services, but they seldom read it on their own.
How often would you get a dose of the Word if you could not attend a church service? The answer can be a bit incriminating.
3. We need God’s Word like we need food…daily!
You would never just stuff yourself on Sunday with a huge meal and not eat the rest of the week.
Our spiritual nutrition operates the same way. We need a daily dose of God’s presence and words to be healthy and strong spiritually. This is why so many people are spiritually starving and living an unsuccessful life; they do not get the spiritual nutrients they need to thrive.
“Most Christians feed their bodies three hot meals a day, their spirits one cold snack a week, and they wonder why they are so weak in faith.”
-Evangelist F.F. Bosworth
Commit to reading the Word of God daily.
Have a blessed week,
Pastor (Rev. Elias Limones)
