The Spoken Word...

Why does the Christian place such emphasis on the Word of God? Why is it so important to our existence? The answer is rather an obvious one, but we often get lost in translation when the cares of this life press in. Circumstances of life seem to overshadow the most important fundamentals to a person’s life, which is the Word of God. You see creation began with God speaking it into existence, it’s the Word of God that created all things, and He alone has it in His power to create from His spoken Word. God alone has the power to create from a simple Word, phenomenal! But unfortunately not all believe it to be so, and this will be to their own detriment. Here then are the facts; “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Mark 13:3) – The Lord Jesus has proclaimed to the world that heaven and earth as we know it will end, “it will pass away”. Regardless of mankind’s efforts to preserve the earth as we know it, it will eventually run its course and be done away with. How do I know this to be true, God has so declared it! Now whether we believe this to be true or not, it will never change the reality of this truth. God has spoken!

It is therefore essential that we all get in line with God’s reality if it is to end well for us. There is an offer that has been extended to all of mankind and that is to find repentance for our sin in and through the finished work of Calvary. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only One who has it in His power to forgive us for our rebellion against the Word of God. When God preordains something to happen it always come to pass. Do you know that it is impossible (not able to happen any other way) for God to lie, how do I know this to be true? Once again the Word of God has so affirmed it; “… in which it is impossible for God to lie…” (Hebrews 6:18) - Whatever God has preordained will happen, nothing in existence will ever change the facts and this is the reality of God’s sovereignty and the sooner we get in line with His plans the better-off we will all be. This is not rocket science, so then why do so few align themselves with God’s production and take up their roles as they should? Again the answer is an obvious one; sin has blinded us to the overarching plans that God has preordained from before the foundations of the worlds. Men and women have been hoodwinked to believe a lie! We will only ever find ourselves in one of two camps, the encampment of lies or the faction of truth. Where do you fit in? As for me and my family we will seek out forgiveness for our sins and be thankful to the One who has afforded us this opportunity, our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ has freed us from sin, death and the tricks of Satan. Therefore if we find grace to see it through until we all breathe our last breath I know that it will end well. Of this I am persuaded!

Jesus Christ has paid the price for my sins and for all those who find true repentance in and through Him. These are the fact pertaining to God’s offer for all of mankind. How do I know this to be true? God has so declared it in and through His Word, the Bible. For those who are fortunate to be reading this you all have a choice to make, life or death now knocks at your door. Do not take what has been penned lightly, or leave the decision until tomorrow, today may well be your last, take action repent and believe on the finished work of Calvary. You may be asking yourselves on what authority am I able to claim such authority? I can assure you that I do not claim any right of my own, but what I have declared unto you is from the Word of God and it is His lifeline, His instruction I have inscribed and not my own opinion, for if it was it would hold very little weight, but now because He has spoken it has the power to change a person completely. My prayer is that regardless of what you think you know that these two pages of captured words would cause you to act in accordance with God’s Word and that you would find true freedom in Him, to serve Him with a clear conscience. Only then will you be able to cry, “I was blind but now I see”.

Thank you Lord Jesus for making a way of escape for mankind in and through your finished work of Calvary, Thank you for dying in the place of sinners so that we can find forgiveness for our sins; there is nothing else a person could do to earn this favour and yet we have been liberated from ourselves when we find true repentance in you. God is good! Thank you Father God for sending your Son, the One who was without sin to pay the price for my sins and the sins of all who find repentance in Him. All honour, praise and glory belongs to our God now and forever more, Amen and Amen!
