The Transforming Word

Our readings in this series are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is an excerpt from page 45:

“The Word of God is able to equip the followers of Jesus Christ for every good work. Wherever the goodness of God may come to light in the land of the living, it will do so only according to the teaching of Scripture and through the lives of those who submit to the Sword of the Spirit in all things. Wherever the followers of Christ do not engage the Sword of the Spirit, there the goodness of God cannot emerge, and the darkness of unbelief and sin will prevail. The Christian’s calling is thus to be equipped by the Word of God for the good works God has before ordained for every area of our lives. The Scriptures – the Sword of the Spirit – are God’s Word for all of life, but they will only speak into all of life with transforming power when believers learn and live the teachings of Scripture.”
