The last couple of days I shared with you excerpts from a couple of books that have impacted my life greatly. God has used these wonderful men to share some incredible insight with me. However, today I want to share with you from a book that no others can stack up against. Warning: The following is powerful!
John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 10:9-10,13, "...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation...For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.'"
Romans 6:14, "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
Ephesians 3:20, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"
Jude 20-21, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."
1 John 4:17, "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world."
The verses listed above are just a sample of the many that God has used to speak into my life. While I am grateful for the insight of so many men and women, none can compare to the words of my Creator. Jesus took the words of God and gave them life: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." ~ John 6:63
The wonderful thing about the Word of God is it will lead us to an experience with Him. We can do so much more than just memorize verses/passages; we can actually participate with the Word of God through the Holy Spirit.
Be sure to take some time to put His Word into your life. But be warned: His words are POWERFUL!!!
