THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD

• To Defeat —Jesus, in His temptation, defeated Satan on every point by quoting Scripture (Matthew 4:1-11). Three times during His temptation Jesus declared, “It is written.” The written Word is our most powerful force to defeat Satan. (See Deuteronomy 8:3.)

• To Evil—not only in our personal lives but also universally. Satan would destroy each individual believer and bring chaos to the universe if possible. God upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). When God decrees or commands something, it is performed by the power of His word.

• To a Person—David gave us an unusually powerful insight into what God’s Word can do in the life of an individual. (See Psalm 19:7-11.) He identified the Word, explained why it can change us, and explained what it accomplishes in our lives.

3. Sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).

4. Instructs us what to think on (Philippians 4:8).
