Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 Peter 1:23).
Christianity is an exciting life; a life of victory through the Word. Religious Christianity teaches that you have to struggle to please God, and to walk with Him. But in true Christianity, you don’t need to struggle to please God because the Holy Spirit helps you live the faith life that pleases Him. All you have to do is pay attention to Him through the Word.
Those who live according to the Word of God don’t need to keep worrying whether or not they’re pleasing God. It takes faith to please Him: "But without faith it is impossible to please him…" (Hebrews 11:6); and faith is having the Word dwell in you richly and living by it. God’s Word in you will regulate your thoughts and actions, and guide you in the paths of righteousness.
No wonder Colossians 3:16 says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." If you store up the Word in your heart’s treasury, you’ll of necessity speak the Word, because the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, "…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Moreover, if you keep talking the Word in faith, the Word will propel you to action.
To live the glorious life God has ordained for you in Christ is neither a mystery nor unattainable; all you have to do is live in, and by, the Word. Keep the Word in you and let the Word dominate you! You must live out the Word daily, such that when you speak, it’ll be the Word talking through you.
Confession
I have the Word of God dwelling in me richly, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. My life today is the expression and manifestation of God’s Word, which has taken centre-stage in my life! I’m led forth in victory and triumph today as the Word of God gains the mastery in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
