The WORDS of Christ

Source

John 1.1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Why are the words of God so important;

His word is so powerful that anything you ask He will grant to you.
His words are your guiding light.
In the beginning was the word and God commanded that let there be light and there was.
His word is the light that delivers from darkness;
Jhn 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it


Why the emphasis on the Words of God?

1) This is because He is the strong foundation-1 Cor 3.10-11;
 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

2) Christ is the sure foundation that God laid.;
           So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.

3) His word makes you clean. John 15.3;
You are already clean because of what I have told you


4) For a stronger backing and foundation to help build a higher tower. Jer 15.16

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts- Col 3.16
