Bible Question: I need to give a class to teenagers on why we need God's Word. I really like Psalm 119, does anyone know great verses that will bring this home to these kids |
Bible Answer: Damascus, You ask a great question, but one that cannot be answered adequately in a short response:-) One of the most well-known, yet I believe fascinating responses, is that of the Lord in Matthew 4. Christ- God in the flesh- answers Satans' temptations by quoting the written Word in verses 1-11. What I find fascinating is that it not only shows forth the veracity of the OT Word, but of all the possible responses He could have offered ( being God), He responded with scripture! One of my favorite sections of scripture to both pray and meditate on is Pauls' description of the believers armor in Eph. 6:10-18. Of particular note is the imperative to "take" in vs.17: "...and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD." Our "weapon" for doing battle is the Word of God! Other NT verses that may be of help to you are, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Hebrews 4:12. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
