Sermon About God’s Word: The Power Of The Word

The Power Of The Word Of God

The Bible is the most important book in history. It is the Word of God, which is the only thing that matters.

Some, like Satan, will take a scripture out of context to suit their purpose (Mt. 4:6; Psa. 91:11-12). Some will not handle the word of God accurately (2 Tim. 2:15) God’s word is not to be changed (2 Thess. 2:15; 2 Tim. 1:13)

God is the source of the word. Reverence and respect for word

No right to change. Can’t separate God from his word

Why does the Bible matter?

The Bible is the word of God. It was written by men who were inspired by God. It tells us how we should live as Christians. It teaches us what Jesus did for us on the cross. It gives us hope when things seem hopeless. It helps us understand why bad things happen to good people. It shows us how to overcome sin. And it gives us guidance on how to live a life pleasing to God.

The word of God provides us with everything needed to know the path of salvation and how to

live the Christian life in a manner pleasing to God.

Our goal is to read through it continually to ensure we are serving God as we ought -Ac 17:11
