A Demonstration of Truth
Proverbs 4:6
- It is one thing to be saved by the word. It is quite another to be preserved by the Word, so that you may enter into the redemption of finished works. Many people are not consistent in their obedience to the word, and do not live by every word, (Matthew 4:4).
We need to be united by the word. The Word gives clarity, definition and meaning every time. When you are baptized into the Word, you are one with God’s plan, because you are within God in His purpose. Rather than being shaken by man in circumstances, the hidden word within you makes you a functional vessel to display the truth. Many accept the truth, until a situation calls for the substance of that truth to be demonstrated. Without substance, they are left to suffer.
When the Word dwells richly, new life is born every moment. Hymns are born, rhythms are born (Ephesians 5:19), and an attitude of love is born. God’s word, thinking within our hearts with the mind of eternity, brings a new birth. Now we are not forced to face our inadequacies. But we see our own merits and values in the eyes of grace and are overflowing with our potential because of the Word.
Whatever comes from God through the Word, we are controlled. We become the mind, plan, character, disposition, and expression of God’s person, by baptism in the Word we become substances from God.
