The Value of God’s Word

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: … ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’ Hebrews 10: 5, 7, NIV
This morning I read an article at biblestudytools.com by Pastor Greg Laurie entitled, The Value of God’s Word. Being a huge fan of God’s word I immediately began reading the piece.

The article lists these five points to sum up the value of God’s word: it is perfect, it transforms us, it gives us wisdom, it is right and therefore, keeps us on the right path, and following God’s word keeps us happy. Laurie closes by saying the key to successful Christian living is to read, study, memorize, and obey the word of God.

Popular theologian, Chuck Swindoll, (Insight for Living or http://www.insight.org) says the Bible is food for Christian development no matter what stage of life you are in and you can never exhaust its storehouse of nourishment.

Consistently and earnestly study the word of God. You’ll be eternally glad that you did!

God Bless!
