The most powerful book

In the first page of the Bible, God speaks and everything comes into existence. Every single word comes with immense power as it forms and crafts the new universe and everything within it. At last, the perfect world is completed by the words of God before He breathes life into the first people in His story. It is evident in this story that the words of God are powerful. They have a direct and instant effect after being spoken out of the mouth of God. Each word holds a goal and a specific purpose.

As the story of God progresses, we begin to hear His words more often, most of which are directed towards a person or a group of people. Although these words are different than the ones that He spoke first, they carry just as much worth as the first words did. God's words are always powerfully strong. Just as those first words were powerful, so they are today. We have every word we need from God written in the Word of God.

The book that many hate, some seldom read, and few love, contain the words that came from the omnipotent and omniscient God. These words have great power to change our life. It is in this book that we read the stories revealing the depravity of man. And it is through this book that we come to an intimate encounter with God Himself in the flesh. It is here that we see Jesus taking our sins on the cross and putting an end to death itself by becoming the firstborn from among the dead. And it is only through the story of the gospel that we can truly be forgiven of our sins and be reconciled with God.

To make this point clear, John the apostle calls Jesus the Word. The Word who was in the beginning, the Word who was with God, and the Word who was God Himself. John emphasizes the fact that it is only through this Word that any man can be saved. It is through God's Word and God himself that we can be freed from our sins and restored back into a relationship with Him.

The Bible is an incredible book that is given as a gift to all men containing the words of God that have power to change our hearts by teaching us, revealing our sins to us, correcting us, and training us in righteousness. It is the single most powerful book. We must expose our minds and our hearts to this book more than any other book.
