The Word is Alive

In light of the new song that I posted on the blog, I would like to give you a little insight into our bible study at church last night. With the transition of trying to find a new pastor for our church, we have had the same guy teaching our bible study for several weeks. I have enjoyed his studies and really get a lot out of them. 


Last nights message was on the word. God's word and why it is so important to us. That really got me to thinking, Why is God's word so important to me? Is this something that we think about often, well, probably not. But, it is important. In Psalms 119:105 it says: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. 

The word is important to us because it divides the soul from the body. It reveals to us that which we are and that which we need to be. It is God Breathed, Innerant, Infallible, and is useful for teaching and doctrine. It shows us of God's unfailing love and his Amazing Grace. 

Think of the words to the song that is playing on my music player this week:

The Word is alive and it cuts like a sword through the darkness
with a message of life to the hopeless and afraid, breathing life into all who believe.
The word is alive and the world and its glories will fade but his truth it will not pass away
it remains yesterday and forever the same, the word is alive. 

The word is alive and it is God's word and it will stand forever. Check out the following scriptures given to us from the bible study on Wednesday night:

Hebrews 4:12
1 Peter 1:25
Matthew 24:35
Matthew 5:18
2 Timothy 3:16
2 Peter 1:21
