In Jesus’ own words:

John 8:31-32: “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Obviously, if we desire to know the truth about life eternal with God, it is clear that His Word is our only secure source of truth.

What’s more?

Hebrews 4:12: “For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Romans 15:4: “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”

What then should we expect from living by God’s Word?

Proverbs 2:1-6: “My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

Wow! Ready, and willing to live by the Word of God?

André Gourd began sharing daily messages with his sons in 2019, which grew into daily scripture-based encouragements for all. Prompted by the Lord in 2020, he keeps each message short and to the point—never opinion, always pointing to God’s Word. Each ends with a one-sentence challenge to help readers stay focused on Christ. Find more at Christ at The Helm.
