How God's Word Gives You a Fresh Start!
Need a fresh start? Learn how God's Word can give it to you!
Hello, I'm Dr. Beau Abernathy, and I'd like to talk with you today about how God's Word gives you a fresh start. James 1:18 says he chose to give us birth through the Word of Truth. God wants to use his Word to give you a fresh start in life. Without God's Word, we would never be saved. We wouldn't be headed for heaven.
We wouldn't know about Jesus death on the cross. We wouldn't know about God's purpose for our lives. Without the Bible, we would not know God. We can't know God. God wants to give you all of that, but it starts with his word. Through the Bible, God recreates our lives. When I feel like I'm at the end of my rope, God uses the Bible to give me a fresh start, a do over.
The Bible calls it being born again. In James 1:18, God's word says he chose to give us birth through the word of truth. God's word is often compared to a seed. Once the Bible takes root in your heart, it begins to sprout and grow and bear fruit. As God's Word does that, God changes your life for the better.
Jesus says in John 6:63 about His Word, "The words I have spoken to you, they are full of the Spirit and life." God's Word isn't just words on a page. It's Spirit. and life. It's spiritual power. His word can transform society and transform history. It can do the impossible. It can change every area of your life.
D. L. Moody, a famous Chicago pastor from 100 years ago, said the Bible was not given to increase our knowledge. The Bible was given to change our lives. How do you need your life changed? What part of your life do you feel powerless to change? The Bible says the Word of God can change things that cannot change, that you cannot change on your own.
The Bible says the Word of God can change things that you cannot change on your own. Make God's Word a regular part of your life, and get ready for the impossible this year. Now think it over. Have you been a Christian for a long time? How has your life produced fruit because of your relationship with Jesus?
Why do you believe God's word can change lives? And what impossible thing do you need God to do in your life through his word? This is Beau, hoping that you are rejoicing on the victory side. This is Beau, hoping you are rejoicing on the victory side.
