The Word - a podcast by Pastor Cecil E. Barry

• The Word – is a teaching to help us see God’s Word as intended so we live by it today. We may read a lot of books, as we educate and entertain ourselves, but there is no more important book to read than The Word of God. It is the one book that can change and save lives. God’s Word has been translated many times, from one generation to another so we can read The Word and apply it. Some translations are founded on the old way of speaking, while others are so loosely translated it loses its meaning. We have to find a translation that moves us to know God better, to know God’s Will, to have a real relationship with Christ Jesus, and so the Spirit can be at work in us. If we receive as God intended, it will lead us to change our life and live in Christ. God protects his word, so we can believe and have faith in what God has spoken, in what Christ Jesus has revealed, and what the Spirit is doing and teaching God’s people. God brought forth his word through several means, he showed visions, he spoke directly to others. God had his word written down, so we come to know, believe, and obey it. Then God did an amazing thing, he sent his Son into the world to demonstrate how to live by his Word, so we can have faith in it, believe it, and live it. Christ became a Living Word so it could live in our hearts, and be alive in us. Upon Christ Jesus's departure, once again God did an amazing thing, through Christ the Holy Spirit was made available to those who placed their faith in him. Through Christ, God’s people can have a spiritual connection with Christ and the Father. God is Spirit, we must come to him in spirit so we live with The Word in our heart and have confidence in our salvation.
