I hope those who took the time to read the Gospels and Epistles were refreshed and received additional revelation in their walk. I assume that virtually all those who read this site are believers in Jesus Christ. Each of us received salvation by believing the Scriptures presented to us as being the infallible Word of GOD and responding in faith to FATHER’S Word. When we received Christ into our hearts, a change took place which no one can ever take from us. This was the Word in action.
In Genesis chapter 1, it is written by THE SPIRIT:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
“Then God said” established this earth and all that it contains. HIS Word established the heavens as well and they continue to respond according to HIS Word and Divine Intent to this very day. You and I responded to HIS Word when we were saved from our sinful nature. The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
We cannot separate The Word from Our Heavenly Father thus HIS Word is based on HIS integrity. The Beloved Disciple further wrote:
14 And the Word became flesh (Jesus) and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
We fully trusted in FATHER’S Word, Jesus Christ, when we were born again and experienced the change in our hearts. Why should we stop there? Shouldn’t we treat each Word Jesus spoke with the same integrity and authority of the Word given to us at our time of conversion? Has the Word lost its power and authority in any manner? Hebrews chapter 13 given to us by THE SPIRIT emphatically states:
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
This can also be stated: FATHER’S Word to us is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
As we continue to mature in Christ, we must keep this primary Truth and reality before us. Jesus (The Word) has instructed us concerning His priorities but many have chosen the world’s priorities instead. Let us repent of our past failure to emphasize the mandate given to us by Jesus Christ Himself. Let us reestablish the preeminence of HIS Word in our daily lives and change our priorities accordingly. Let us no longer be moved by our five physical senses when they conflict with FATHER’S Word. Let us approach HIS Word in a fresh, innocent manner and set aside what man has told us about HIS Word and let FATHER reveal HIS Word to each of us in a similar manner to the time when we first received salvation. HIS power and authority has not changed and each Word continues to be true today just as it was when HE first spoke it.
