Hold fast to the word of life!
If there was ever a section of Scripture that spoke to the importance of the Word of God in the life of a Christian, it is here.
You see, it is easy in this fallen world to be caught up in the negative. Grumbling, disputing, trying to win the argument. And to the world around us all we do then is display and amplify the darkness of the world system out of our mouths.
In this video, we discuss that it is the word of God that gives light and life. Click here or on the picture below to view the video.
Complaining over our circumstances makes us look no different to those around us and we kill the message of hope in Jesus through His saving grace. All the world sees then is a religious person who, like them, has no answers and no hope. Instead, we communicate darkness, of which they are all too familiar. Because of that, we are not blameless, above reproach, but rather we demonstrate and propagate the same darkness of the world. We have hidden our light under a basket or even worse yet in the basement.
Luke 11:33 (ESV) 33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
Philippians 2:16 (ESV) 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
