Greetings in The Name of Jesus Christ, The Healer,
As we explore the third reason for God giving us a written Word, I ask you to read Luke 4: 1-13.
What an extraordinary passage of scripture! The Son of God, who has been in existence for all eternity, is having a spiritual power encounter with the temporary god of this world. Of all of the wisdom Christ had access to, He answered Satan’s temptations with the written Word.
This remarkable confrontation clearly reveals God’s third reason for His written scriptures. The Word of God is our best and most important weapon in spiritual warfare.
Read Ephesians 6: 10-17.
Look carefully at verse seventeen. The sword of The Spirit is the Word of God. This is our only offensive weapon. The speaking of The Word is our opportunity to take the battle to the enemy.
Here is some homework. Using the numerous available resources on the internet, play audibly the reading of The Scriptures in you home for extended periods of time. You will notice a significant difference in the spiritual atmosphere of your residence. The powers of darkness flee the spoken Word of God.
Obviously, God has other reasons for providing us with the written Word but here is a review of the three most important.
- The Scriptures provide the foundational material upon which we can execute faith in our Heavenly Father.
- The Bible provides our fallback to absolute truth.
- The Word of God is to be our chief weapon in spiritual warfare.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NKJV
