D. Believer’s Responsibility To God’s Word:
Success in the Christian life will be determined by our attitude towards the Word of God. The Word of God is complete, sufficient and adequate. We therefore have a responsibility to read, treasure, delight, meditate and do according to the Word of God. See Ezra 7:10.
The Word of God should occupy a place of prominence in our lives, more than necessary food. It is what gives us spiritual nourishment. In summary, your responsibility concerning the Word is to nourishment. See Job 23:12.
E. You And The Word:
1. Read the Word – Carefully, Prayerfully, Seriously, Personally and Regularly. See Joshua 1:8.
2. Understand the Word you are reading. See Acts 8:26-37.
3. Apply the Word to yourself. See Isaiah 34:16.
4. Believe the Word of God, is profitable as you believe the Bible. See Hebrews 4:12.
5. Practice the Word. See James 1:22.
6. Be willing to sacrifice anything for the Word. Cut off any friendship or business relationship that will make you to contradict the Word. See Colossians 3:16.
7. Defend the Word. See Jude 4; 1 Timothy 6:12.
8. Teach the Word. See 2 Timothy 4:1-5.
9. Take heed to the warnings of Scripture to avoid the trap and snares of the devil as well as of the world. See Proverbs 24:21; 4:22.
10. Be filled and saturated with the living and the written Word. See John 1:1-2.
The Unchanging God is the Author of His Unchanging Word. The only sure and stable foundation upon which our lives can be solidly built in these changing times. As we accord His Word, the deserved respect and honour, we will not be moved or shaken, but be assured of eternal support and inheritance.
