Now let us look at the PICTURES OF THE WORD OF GOD FOUND IN THE BIBLE
Like a word picture, the Bible describes itself in ways easy to understand and appreciate. The Word of God is Seed 1 Peter 1:23 (ESV) since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; Luke 8:11 (ESV) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The Word of God Is a Mirror James 1:22-24 (ESV) But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

It Is Through the Word of God that We Are Counseled Psalm 19:7-8 (NKJV) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; It Is Through the Word of God that We Are Corrected
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. It is through the Word of God that we are converted, convicted, cleansed, comforted, counseled, and corrected. The other day I was talking with someone and asked them how they were doing. The person responded not all that well. I asked him if he was in the Word of God and he said no. I then responded do you see why you are not doing well and of course he said he knew. I told him it was up to him if he wanted to grow in Christ. It Is Through the Word of that We Are Convicted

There is no better way to appreciate the privileges associated with having been given the very words of God than to hear Scripture’s own testimony
1 Peter 1:23 (ESV) since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; James 1:18 (ESV) Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. John 20:30-31 (ESV) Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. 2 Timothy 3:15 (ESV) and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. |
