Welcome

        to a call like the one from the Apostle Peter on the Day of Pentecost:

                        “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(Acts 2:40b)

 

As we study the Bible, we will naturally not be able to use every text in

the Bible which corresponds to the theme under consideration. But we will

point out those verses to you that will complete the section of Truth being

studied.

It is however of the greatest importance for the growth of your faith,

that you inform yourself, by setting aside a time period every day to read

your Bible. Otherwise you could very easily be deceived again by someone

who doesn’t use the Bible as a guide towards salvation.

 

The Word of God contains the Holy Power of God, the Holy Spirit. He

will enlighten or teach every person who earnestly seeks to know God’s will.

 

Gods Word is like a double-edged sword. One sharp edge judges a

man’s or a woman’s thoughts and intentions. The other sharp edge enlightens

and gives the power to obey Him.

 

 We read in Hebrews  4:12 : “For the word of God is living and active.

Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates  even to dividing soul

and spirit, joint and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the

heart.”

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians : “Take the helmet of salva-

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

 

Now a thought to remember. The Word of God is Jesus (Jn. 1:1-5).

The written form of Jesus is the Bible. So if one reads the Bible, he or she

talks with and listen to Jesus. Then, if you really want to understand what

you are reading, you will receive the help of the Holy Spirit. In that setting,

every honest seeker of God’s Truth will get more and more insight in what

God and Jesus have for them and also what is required of them. They will

receive godly knowledge or the light of the Word of God. They will be able

to see themselves in that light and know right away that they are  sinners in
