But My Word   

   Week 4   

The Word Sustains  

   He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow... He hurls down his hail... He sends his word ... (Ps. 147:15-18). 

   The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word (Heb. 1:3). 

Knowledge for New Life  

   ...from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 3:15). 

   For you have been born again ... through the living and enduring word of God

(1 Pet. 1:23). 

   Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation... (1 Pet. 2:2). 

An Offensive Weapon

   Take the ... sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17).

   He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations (Rev. 19:13, 15). 

Judgment

   There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day (John 12:48).

   For the word of God ... judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Heb. 4:12).
