Deuteronomy 32:47 "These instructions are not empty words-they are your life!"
The word of God is not just another book. Read any book other than the Bible and if you forget the message of those books, there will be no eternal consequence. Yes, there is some great wisdom and instruction out there and the leadership team at my Church will tell you that reading good books is a top priority in my life. Leaders are learner's, which means that they are readers.
But God Word is set apart from all other books. It is the inspired word of God and as Moses said, the words of God are not empty words-they are your life. God's word bring life, not just life giving principles but life itself. Jesus said in John 6:63 "The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
God's word brings spiritual life and leads us to eternal life. God's word connects not just your mind but your spirit to God, allowing you to know him, be empowered by him and spend eternity with him in Heaven. No other book on the planet can do that. So the next time you see your Bible laying on your night stand or coffee table, pick it up and open your heart to God's word because it is LIFE!
