Show Notes

The Psalmist celebrates God's Word under many titles in Psalm 119 which has one section for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Dr. Zeile's discussion points out the power in the Word which makes things happen. Thus the power to believe is God's and not the power of human decision-making. Thus our faith is not in ourselves but in the Lord who has called us by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Word made Flesh, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
