Jesus said of the Word of God
(the Holy Bible)
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words
shall not pass away. Mark 13:31
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When
any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then
cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.
This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the
seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon
with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for
a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word,
by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns
is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness
of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that
received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth
it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hudredfold,
some sixty, some thirty. Matthew 13:18-23
Other scriptures about the Word of God
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 1 Peter
1:23
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1 Peter 1:25
For the word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit. and of the joints and marrow. and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
Summary
The Bible contains the Word of God, when you hear the word of God and
receive it into your heart it grows like a seed. If you protect it and
don't let it become choked by cares of the world, it will bear much fruit
in your life. So if you need healing find God's words about healing and
plant them in your heart, and they will produce a crop of healing. If
you need material provision find God's promises about abundant provision
and plant those in your heart. Every word of God is incorruptible
seed and will produce what it promises.
TIP: Understanding the Bible
The New Testament section of the Bible is of primary interest to us
as that contains what Jesus said. The Old Testament mainly of historical
interest. The New Testament was originally written mainly in Koine an
version of Greek spoken throughout the Europe at the time of Christ earth
ministry. There are many translations of the Greek into modern languages.
The most accurate English version is probably the 'King James Version'
(KJV). However the KJV is written in Elizabethan English so can be hard
to understand initially. A good starter is the 'Living Bible'. An excellent
additional version to gain understanding of a particular subject is the
'Amplified Bible'
