The word of God is alive and exerts power.—Heb. 4:12.

 

As Jehovah’s people, we have no doubt that God’s word, his message to humans, “is alive and exerts power.” Many of us are living proof of the Bible’s power to change lives. Some of our brothers and sisters were formerly thieves, drug addicts, or sexually immoral. Others enjoyed a measure of success in this system of things but felt that something was missing in their life. (Eccl. 2:3-11) Time and again, individuals who seemed hopelessly lost found their way to the path of life by means of the Bible’s transforming power. You have likely read and greatly enjoyed a number of these experiences as published in The Watchtower in the series “The Bible Changes Lives.” And you have seen that even after accepting the truth, Christians continue to make spiritual progress with the help of the Scriptures. w17.09 23 ¶1

Good morning my dear Vernalee,

 

Yes, this is a very interesting days text. With the organization encouraging us to memorize scriptures amongst other things and knowing that what is left of our preaching work may have to be done without a physical bible - relying purely on Jehovah recalling scriptures - shows that the Word of God is NOT limited to pages in a book, or on an electronic device, the word of God, is alive inside us, in our hearts and minds ... the physical are just vessels ... I find it heartwarming that wherever we find ourselves Jehovah's Word will be right there with us.
