The Power of God’s Word

 

Introduction.  Like the snow and rain God’s word (when sent forth) accomplishes what God intends it to accomplish (Isaiah 55:10,11).

 

I.  The Power of God’s Word in Material Creation.

 

A.  In Bringing The World into Existence (Genesis 1:3; Psalm 33:6-9; Hebrews 11:3).

B.  In Upholding All Things (Hebrews 1:3).

C.  In Bringing All Things To An End (II Peter 3:7,10).

 

II.  The Power of God’s Word in Spiritual Creation.

 

A.  It Gives Light (Psalm 119:105,130).

B.  It Makes One Wise Unto Salvation (II Timothy 3:14-17).

C.  It Is a Hammer and a Fire (Jeremiah 23:29).

D.  It is an Incorruptible Seed (I Peter 1:22-25; 1:23; Psalm 119:49,50; James 1:18).

E.  It Sustains Spiritual Life (I Peter 2:1-3; Hebrews 5:12-14).

F.  If Builds Up (Acts 20:32).

G.  It Saves Man in Due Time (I Corinthians 1:21; James 1:21).

H.  The Dead Will Be Raised by It (John 5:28,29).

 

Conclusion.  The gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16).  May we always stand in awe of the power of God’s word (Psalm 119:161-168).
