Living God’s Word: Our Ultimate Response
We who appreciate the magnitude of the living Word of God realize its uniqueness over any other written document. Being a “living word” makes the Bible stand out above and beyond any other text.
Hebrews 4:12 ESV: For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
God’s Word is designed to be lived and fully incorporated into the believer’s life. Discovering God’s desire to love us and bring us into His dynamic family arrests a response that should be easily entreated.
What is Our ultimate response to this incredible Word of God that is loaded with His love for us?
To love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength!
Why? Because He created you and I and all of life. He first loved us and gave us an eternal relationship with Him as our Father and we as His love child. We owe Him everything and we are nothing without Him!
The lonely Heavenly Father needed more than angels to connect with. He needed you and I to love Him and be loved by Him.
You are truly His love child; His dream of dreams. You are the praise of His glory!
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Eph 1:11.
With the purpose…
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:12.
Truly our ultimate response to this is to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. See Deut. 6:5; Matt. 22:37; Mk 12:30 and Luke 10:27.
