This is Part 2 of the discussion "The meaning of God's SAVING WORD" ...
The Word of God is living and powerful:
“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. [Hebrews 4:12].
The Word of God is God breathed;it has been given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. [2 Timothy 3:16].
As Jesus said before ascending to heaven, He was going to send another helper - our teacher, the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit came, He was to convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. [John 16:8].
Yes indeed, on the day of Pentecost - the Holy Spirit came. He now dwells inside the hearts of those who have become saved by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” [Hebrews 4].
People therefore, need to “Be saved from this perverse corrupt generation.”
As Peter said in Acts 2:
“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
Those who hear the Lord’s word – the word the Holy Spirit has implanted in their hearts, should believe and be saved. [James 1].
The gospel of mankind’s salvation is being preached to the whole world according to the great commission given by the Lord Jesus Christ. [Matthew 28].
The gospel which has been preached to us, which also we received and in which we stand, by which also we are saved, if we hold fast that word which was preached to us—unless we believed in vain. [1 Corinthians 15].
Therefore, people should lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save our souls.
We must be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. [James 1 verses 21-25].
