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.
God’s Word that is living and powerful is full of the Spirit and life and it has the power to save us. The words I have spoken to you - they are full of the Spirit and life - John 6:63. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God - 1 Peter 1:23.
Power to heal us and save us from destruction
God’s Word has power to save us from destruction. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions - Psalm 107:20. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh - Proverbs 4:20-22.
Power to cleanse us & correct us
God’s Word cleanses us and corrects us for us to be complete. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth - John 17:17. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work - 2 Timothy 3:16,17.
Power to preserve our life
God’s Word preserves our life. If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life. Save me, for I am yours; I have sought out your precepts - Psalm 119:92-94.
Power to touch souls
God’s Word has amazing power to touch souls and lead them to salvation. 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.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for Your Word that has power to save us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
