Dear Seekers of God's Wisdom,

A common error is not believing the Word of God is what it says it is.

Pro 30:5 Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

The Word of God is pure and a shield for those who trust God.

Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

The Pharisees, the professional religionists of that day cancelled the effect by relying on man's interpretations.

Luk 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Jesus says the Word of God is essential for life as food is. When tempted by Satan, Jesus responded with the Word of God. It was what we call the Old Testament, because the New Testament wasn't written at that time.

Luk 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

Jesus is the Word of God.

The Word of God is what causes you to bear fruit.

Your relationship with Jesus depends on hearing and doing the Word of God.

Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

When people said blessed is the womb that bore him, Jesus corrected them saying blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.

Jhn 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Scripture cannot be broken. What God says is true.

Act 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples [unto them], and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

The Word of God was a higher priority than ministry.

Act 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

The Word of God is alive and active.

Act 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

Act 11:1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Act 12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

Act 13:5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to [their] minister.

Act 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Act 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Act 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

If you are concerned about your faith, here is a way to increase your faith by hearing the Word of God.

2Cr 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

We know the Word of God is a shield from Proverbs, but it is also the sword of the Spirit.

Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

The Word of God has a profound effect on your life if you receive it as truth, which it is.

1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The Word of God and prayer sanctify. Indeed, when we receive the Word of God and pray, we begin the sanctification process.

2Ti 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

Tts 2:5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The Word of God is amazing in all it does.

Hbr 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Hbr 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hbr 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.

1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

We are born again by the Word of God.

2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

1Jo 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

You can overcome by the Word of God.

Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Rev 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The Word of God is the manna from heaven that sustains life. The Word of God is vital to our existence. There is no substitute for the Word of God in the believer. The Word of God must be held higher than any other priority.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


You are complete in the Word of God.

May the Lord bless you as you study his Word,
