The New Life in the Word of God

                         

Christianity is an exciting life; a life of victory through the Word. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever 1 Peter 1:23. Religious Christianity teaches that you have to struggle to please God, and to walk with Him. But in true Christianity, you don’t need to struggle to please God because the Holy Spirit helps you live the faith life that pleases Him. All you have to do is pay attention to Him through the Word of God. This is because the Word of God is the life. The place we read say “…word of God,… liveth and abideth forever” that means the Word of God is alive and living, it does not change. The Word of God is dependable.  We are not born again by struggling; we are born again by the Word of God so we are to live by the Word.

   Those who live according to the Word of God don’t need to keep worrying whether or not they are pleasing God. It takes faith to please God; “But without faith it is impossible to please him…” Hebrew11:6; and faith is having the Word dwell in you richly and living by it. The Just shall live by faith. Faith is the reality that we know as Christians. God’s Word in you will regulate your thoughts and actions, and guide you in the paths of righteousness.

    No wonder Colossians 3:16 says, “let the word of God Christ dwell in you richly in wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” If you store up the Word in your heart’s treasury, you will of necessity speak the Word, because the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, “…out of the abundance of the mouth speaketh.” Moreover, if you keep talking the Word in faith, the Word will propel you to action. If you dwell in the Word it will make you what it talks about.

   To live the glorious life God has ordained for you in Christ is neither a mystery nor unattainable; all you have to do is live in and by the Word. Keep the Word in you and let the word dominate you! You must live out the Word daily, such that when you speak, it’ll be the Word talking through you.
