God's Powerful Word

Looking for solutions to life’s problems?  All of the solutions are in God’s powerful Word, the Bible.

When we were dead in our sins and trespasses, God wrapped up His powerful Word in human flesh and gave Him to us in Bethlehem that everyone who trusts in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

God put His powerful Word into our hands to win for us forgiveness of sins, salvation and eternal life.  By the cross of Jesus, God freed us from the power of sin, death and Satan.

Satan is no match for God’s powerful Word.  The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11 ESV).

After Jesus had fasted forty days, Satan tempted Him in three ways:

1)    Use your power to turn these stones into loaves of bread.  But

Jesus answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.' " Jesus came to feed you by His powerful Word.

2)    Throw yourself down from the pinnacle of the temple. God’s angels

will raise you up.  Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.' " God’s Word is not to be thrown down from the temple to perform miraculous stunts.  God’s powerful Word is to fill the temple of your heart with grace and truth.

3)    Bow down and worship me and I will give you the kingdoms of the

world and their glory.  Then Jesus said to him, "Be gone, Satan! For it is written, " 'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.' "  Jesus brought the powerful Word to us to give us the kingdom of heaven and its glory.  This current heaven and earth will pass away and God will create a new heaven and earth where righteousness reigns and Jesus Christ rules over all.  Therefore, hear God’s powerful Word and worship Him only. 

Jesus, the powerful Word of God, rebuked Satan, “It is written…”  The Word is powerful to resist temptation, to forgive, to lead, to comfort, to confront, to exhort, and to fill your life with every blessing.  The Word answers life’s important problems.  Read it.  Use it. Let it fill you with God’s power and love.  Amen.
