God's Word is powerful, living, and active. His Word is applicable for us to use, accurate for us to trust, and authoritative for us to stand on and submit to. His Word breathes new life into us when all life feels like it is being swept or taken away. God's word brings clarity and perspective, peace and comfort, love and grace, mercy and compassion. God wants us to experience the riches of life with him, and we do that best when we are connected to him through His Word.
