WHERE TRUTH IS FOUND

This morning, let me ask you. Do you want to know the truth? The scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments affirm, declare, testify, and guarantee of our eternal life. As we read in John 5:39; Jesus makes this statement, Search the scriptures; for in them ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me (KJV). See James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23)

So, in other words, the written Word of God, according to Christ’s declaration, is both the written and the Rhema Word. This very theme is that which brings salvation and eternal life. Yes, His Word is active and alive to the believer. It is the only source of information that we have about the Savior.

The written Word reveals the Living Word of Christ himself. As we see in the above scripture, Jesus was speaking about the Old Testament, for the New was not written then; but now we have both the Old and New Testament readily available for anyone to read.

Yes, the Living Word of God is here, for all to read and believe. In doing so, it will lead us to the Christ of our Salvation, the Savior and Redeemer of our souls. Truly, as we read God’s written Word (the Bible,) it will come alive to us as a Rhema Word from God.

This is where the rubber meets the road, you might say. God’s Word becomes alive to the hearer or reader and becomes active to the one who applies the Word, as it is placed into their heart. It is as though God is speaking directly to you for or in your specific situation.

The Word becomes alive and active, as we receive and apply it into our lives. Yes, His Word is “alive and active” to the one who applies it, as it is revealed to the reader.

This is what is meant by the Word of God draws all men unto Christ. When we are drawn unto Him, we either accept or deny the truth into our hearts and lives.

Accepting Christ into our lives is simply accepting the infallible truth of the Word into our lives. By faith, we accept God’s Word as truth, and by faith, we accept Christ into our hearts.

As we read the Word, we began to truly understand what is meant, Christ in us, the hope of Glory.

Again, the Word is active and alive to the believer, and to the one who by faith receives The Truth of the Gospel. The Gospel truth is, Jesus Christ shed His Blood for you and me, so we may have a relationship, with our Creator, God.

As Christ is in the believer so we will want to obey, apply, and do the Word. In other words, follow the very values and principles of the Word.

This is where we can say, as Christ is, so are we! May God bless you this day.
