THE POWER OF THE WORD

This is great power in the Word of God.  In Scripture the word of God is compared to many different things.

It is a mirror that reveals to us our true selves, warts and all (Js.1:23f).

It is a lamp that lightens our paths and shows us the way (Ps.119:105).

It is like water that bring us refreshment from the weariness of life (Prov.25:25).

It is a two-edged scalpel that lays us open and bare before Almighty God (Heb.4:12f).

It is like an arrow that pierces our hearts and stirs our emotions (Acts 2:37).

It is like bread, which nourishes us and give us daily sustenance (Mt.4:4).

It is like milk, which strengthens us as we grow in respect to salvation (1Pet.2:2).

It is likened unto a hammer that breaks us open and a fire that refines our being (Jer.23:29).

It is like a seed that germinates in our minds and hearts and flourishes in bringing forth fruit (1Pet.1:23).

Charles Spurgeon one stated that the word of God is like a lion - -

“You don’t have to defend a lion.  All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself.”

WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT GOD’S WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE?
