Blessings of God’s Word

Keeps from Sin – Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart
 that I might not sin  against you.

   Gives Birth – James 1:18
He chose to give us birth  through the word of truth,  that we might be a kind of firstfruits  of all he created.

Sets Free – John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Characteristics of God’s Word

Active – Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God  is alive  and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword,  it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Trustworthy – Psalm 19:7
The law of the Lord  is perfect,
 refreshing the soul.
 The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
 making wise the simple.

Sweet – Psalm 19:10
They are more precious than gold,
 than much pure gold;
 they are sweeter than honey,
 than honey from the honeycomb.
