Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls - James 1:21.
The Word of God has power to save souls. It
is living and powerful. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and
of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart - Hebrews 4:12. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God - Romans 10:17.
When Peter preached the Word of God, about three
thousand souls were saved. Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one
of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you
shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to
your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will
call” - Acts 2:38,39. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized;
and that day about three thousand souls were added to them - Acts 2:41.
Additional 5000 men came to faith in
Christ when Peter preached the Word. However, many of those who heard the word
believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand - Acts 4:4. And
the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved - Acts 2:47. Let
us preach and spread the Word of God that has power to save souls. For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for
everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek - Romans 1:16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to preach
Your living Word that has power to save souls. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
