The Week of May 16-22

 Weekly Passage : John 1

Jesus and the Word

Only 55% of Christians strongly agree that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches; 18% agree somewhat;  13% somewhat disagree; 9% disagree strongly and 5% aren’t sure what to believe. 

What do you believe about the Bible? Is it the Word of God? Is it just advice, some of which should be followed and some of which should be overlooked? Is some of the Bible outdated in its principles?

The Bible says many things about the word of God but the most striking is in John 1:1-5: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend[a] it.”

John shows the word of God shows it as the eternal word, and the word being Jesus himself. Do you believe that Jesus is the living word of God? If He is the word and He is life and meant to bring life, then what does the word of God do to our lives? Do you believe that the word is living and eternal?  What has it done in your life?

As was challenged in the last Bible study lets not take a break this summer. Pick a book of the Bible and study and look over it. Embrace the word of God that lives and breathes and has the power to change your life today.
