Getting Back to the Basics – Week 2: Scripture
Today we will be focusing on the nature of Scripture and the transformational role it plays in the life of believers.
- The Word is Living & Powerful
Hebrews 4: 12 NLT
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. - The Word is Beneficial
2 Timothy 3:16 NASB
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, - Jesus is the Word
John 1: 1-5, 14 NIV1 We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life.2 This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.4 We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.5 This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
14 So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
