Word of eternal life

The Word of God is the spiritual food par excellence. When we use the Word superficially in any circumstance, and do not take into account the attributes of God that reveal his fatherly heart, it can make us see to others as the typical modern Pharisees who make theological discourse a blah, blah, blah unable to touch souls and minister to them.

The Word that we use in our spiritual journeys must be seasoned with the knowledge of a God who has revealed himself to humanity in a special way through his Son Christ. We must know the moral attributes of God, his faithfulness, his holiness, his immense love. The first time they told me: Be careful, God is good, but he is also a consuming fire, I felt like I was dying. The fear of God suddenly turned to terror. The Word of God should be like a spring that refreshes our soul, we should not feel it as if it came from a tyrant God who from on high demands that we follow rules and regulations and who condemns us when we do things wrong. We must know as Christians that there is no longer condemnation in those of us who have known Christ and recognized him as the sovereign Lord of our lives. To get hold of the Word of God, we must first know God.

The Word tells us in Romans 8: 1 Now, therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

We must be wise to minister with the Word of God and also fill ourselves with humility so that the Word penetrates our soul and helps us walk with Christ. It exhorts us, corrects us, calls us to discipline, to humility, to obedience ... but never condemns us.

If the Word of God affirms that He is love, we must not fear the loving discipline that comes from him so that things go well for us. We have been called to trust and obey his blessed Word.

The point is that the more we know God, the more we love and need his Word, his daily portion of supernatural blessing. As we fall more in love with his Word every day, we will recognize more clearly that God only wants us to be better children, better parents, better brothers, grandparents and disciples every day and desires, above all things, the good from all of us. The Word says "... and we know that God arranges all things for the good of those who love him, those who have been called according to his purposes." (Romans 8:28). This is one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible, but at the same time more fundamental, because it is based on what God expects from our love towards Him. Isn't this a forceful manifestation of God's love for those of us who have decided be his disciples? Read it again and meditate on this declaration of love that God makes to us.

Therefore, my brethren, we must not fear the Word of God, but bless it with heartfelt gratitude. Christ loved the Word at the same time that he revealed to us in his public ministry the love of the Father and was obedient to it until death. God so loved the world… (John 3:16). Being captivated by the Word is like being sweetly imprisoned in the heart of God, anointed with the fullness of his holiness, and Christ, we must not forget, is the incarnate Word of God, holy, holy, holy! God bless you!
