Hello everyone,

Primary Text

“In the beginning was the Word …” John 1v1 (KJV)

The Word of God helps children of God to keep back from sin. Psalm 119v9&11 (KJV) says “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Thy word… Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” The Living Bible puts it this way: “How can a young man stay pure? By reading Your Word and following its rules… I have thought much about Your words and stored them in my heart so that they would hold me back from sin.” The Word of God can serve as an instructor, teacher, guide and check on the believer. 2 Timothy 3v16-17 (ERV) tells us “All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting faults and teaching the right way to live. Using the Scriptures, those who serve God will be prepared and will have everything they need to do every good work.” By knowing God’s Word and putting it in your heart and taking heed unto it, one is able to stay away from sin because you would know what God does not like and what He would have you do. Psalm 119v165 (AMP) says “Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.” Child of God are you are reader of the Word of God? Do you make it a chief priority to know what God’s Word says? Are you a doer of the Word?

Prayer
