The Bible is Alive!
John 6:63 English
Standard Version (ESV)
63 It is the Spirit who
gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken
to you are spirit and life.
Hebrews 4:12 English
Standard Version (ESV)
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the
heart.
Faith
activates the Word.
Hebrews 4:2 English
Standard Version (ESV)
2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message
they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith
with those who listened.
Revelation
activates faith.
Luke 1:34-38 English
Standard Version (ESV)
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a
virgin?”
35 And
the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[b] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also
conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called
barren. 37 For nothing
will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let
it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from
her.
Meditation
activates revelation.
Joshua 1:7-8 English
Standard Version (ESV)
7 Only
be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the
law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the
right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a]wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success.
We
have to build our lives on God's Word.
