The Word is Perfect

The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. Psalm 19:7 

The scriptures revive the soul because they are from God, the one who created the soul.  They communicate his desires and expectations for us.  They are God’s wisdom and encouragement for our lives.  They are perfect.

The principles of this world are twisted, killing the soul. The promises of this world are empty, stealing the soul.  But…. “The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul!”  

....the Word, the life-giving perfect instructions of God, through the work of the Holy Spirit, reaches deep into our spiritually comatose state and pulls us out.  The Word resurrects our spiritual vitality and restores our passion for Christ and His church.

…the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.  Romans 15:4

Words are powerful. They can steal away hope, and they can give it back again. If mere words can feel like they take away life and give it back again, is it any wonder that God’s Words can do the same?  These words shape us. They can save us. They teach us how to live, but more than that, they give us life.  Amazing things happen to people as they hear and read God’s Word.  words from Adrian Wornock
