Attitude
How we should view God’s Word
  1. Matthew 4:4 - We need it to survive. Why do you eat every day? We need to “feed” ourselves daily on God’s Word
  2. Deuteronomy 33:44-47 - Not mere words but they are your life.
  3. John 12:47-48 - God will use it as the standard of judgment. Example: Final exam for college course - the test will be form the text.
Application
How should we use God’s Word?
  1. James 1:22 - Do what it says!
  2.  Acts 17:11 - Examine it daily
  3. Hebrews 4:12-13
    • Use it to find what our hearts are really and change that which is not pleasing to God
    • Use it as a “scalpel” to cut the sin in our lives and in the lives of others
  4. John 20:28, Romans 10:17 – Deepen our faith in Christ.

Key Phrase: Bible are not mere words but they are your life
