CHAPTER 1
In The Beginning
John 1:1-2In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.
John tells us in John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, but Genesis 1:1 said `in the beginning, God,' so which is it? The answer is both. God gives us the answer in verse 2 of John chapter 1:2: the same was in the beginning with God. We cannot separate God from His Word; God and His Word are the same. Or you could say that God is as good as His Word. We as Christians should strive to be as good as our word. Most of us don't realize the importance of our words, and because of that, we don't think much about what we say. Because we do not value our own words, in return we do not value the words of others. If we are to be honest with ourselves, we don't really expect people to tell us the truth, we look for people to lie to us. Where do we get this mentality from? We get that mentality from ourselves. As we study the bible we find that God is big on words, words that He speaks and words that we speak. God not only expects us to honor His Word, but He also expects us to honor our own words and the words of others that do not conflict with His Word.
One of the main things that make the Word of God powerful is that it was in the beginning. God's Word established who He was and is from the beginning. The Word of God is supreme and it is to be honored above all. The Word of God is honored and obeyed by Him. God honors His Word so much that God Himself is bound by His own Word. Likewise, God expects us to honor our word, and be bound by our word. The bible teaches us in:
Ps 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
We must remember that when we give our word to someone, we shouldn't change it. Even if it hurts us, we should stand by our words.
I remember from my childhood the saying, "Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." As I grew up I found that to be very untrue. With our words we have the ability to make people happy or make people sad. With our words we can bless or curse. We can even touch people's emotions with our words. Most of us don't give much thought to the words we speak, because we don't fully understand the power of words. Because words are so powerful, when spoken they dictate how our life will go, and also plays a great part in our destiny. The Bible teaches us in James 3 that words set the course that our life will take:
James 3:3-6 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
One of the first things we learn as Christians is that God is faithful to His Word. Just like God's words establish who He is, our words should establish who we are. Have you ever met someone that didn't keep their word and didn't do what they said they would do? If so, this failure to keep their word probably established in your mind the type of person they were. When you deal with people that don't keep their word, it creates problems for you and prevents you from functioning at your best. Words are how we express ourselves to the people around us. Words also reveal things about us, whether good and bad. How we us words will tell people things about us that we may not want them to know. Words are our most valuable asset, but they can also be our worst enemy. The Bible teaches us that our words contain blessings and curses, life and death
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing....
Prov 18:20-21 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Our words alone carry power, but when we add faith to our words, our expectation rises. Even when we speak God's words, we must mix faith with them. Everything that we get out of God's Word will be based on whether or not we believe it and to what extent we believe it.
Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
What we say is very important. For this reason, we must study the Word of God and learn the mind of God, so we can say what God said. We should always choose our words very carefully. Jesus taught us that we would have to give an account for the words that we spoke:
Matt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
What is an idle word? An idle word is a word that is barren, inactive, unemployed, and useless: in other words, it is a word that doesn't do anyone any good. Notice that an idle word does not have to be a lie; it can be true and still be an idle word. Jesus is speaking here about the heart. In essence, what Jesus is saying is that any word we say with our mouths that does not agree with or come from our heart is an idle word. Can you imagine how many fewer words we would speak if we only spoke words that were useful and that came from the heart? A good habit to get into when you are not sure about what to say is to ask yourself the question, "Is what I am about to say going to do anybody any good, and is it coming from my heart?" If your answer is no to this question, then don't say it.
If you were to take inventory of your life, you would find that words played a large part in whatever position you are in now. Are you happy with your life? The right words spoken at the right time made that possible. Are you unhappy with your life? The wrong words spoken at the wrong time made that possible. Words should be very important to us as they are important to God. The reason words are so important is not only because they set the course of our future, but they also reveal our past. They can also reveal what's presently in your heart.
Have you ever heard the phrase "the art of listening"? Learning to listen is a good thing, but we must also learn to listen to ourselves,...
