What Is The Power of Gods Word?
A. Preliminary Data Just as our chief executive’s word carries with it all the power and authority of our nation, so God’s Word possesses all of His might and power. And our God is powerful. He is not to be confused with Aristotle’s first cause, who sits back and observes what transpires in this world. Nor is He Descartes’ quiescent creator, who for some reason does not see fit to intervene in our worldly affairs. Nor is He the God of certain modern theologians who affirm that God speaks and acts but not in our time and space. No, our God is eternally active. He is the living God, acting, speaking, working, striving to make His claim on man. He kills and He makes alive; He exalts and He casts down; He speaks, He gives knowledge, He shows His strength, He performs mercy, He delivers. He not only loves, but He makes His love manifest by sending His only-begotten Son into the world. He not only hates sin, but He executes judgment, and His wrath is actually revealed from heaven against all
