We continue our study this
week in 40 Days In The Word.
How does God’s Word change
me?
3. IT ACTIVATES MY FAITH
Faith is Word-activated. The promises of God raise
our expectations!
Rom.
10:17“Faith comes from hearing the message, and the
message is heard through the Word of Christ.”
Ever heard the Word taught
and felt courage well up inside you?
Don’t forget that sometimes
it’s a pacing growth like in Exodus 23:29-30, I will not give you the whole
land in a single year, because you wouldn’t be able to handle it. Instead, you
will overtake it little by little until YOU have GROWN enough to take
possession of it all! God will help us grow in our faith through obedience.
4. IT STIMULATES MY GROWTH
Inheritance equals getting
all that rightly belongs to you as God’s child! The Bible and it’s instruction
is part of a believer’s inheritance.
Acts
20:32, I commit you to God and to the Word of his
grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who
are sanctified.”

Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good
work.”
TEACHING shows you the path to walk on - REBUKING shows how you got off the path - CORRECTING –shows
you how to get back on and stay on the right path. That’s a great inheritance.
Be wise today and always – let the Word change you.
