The Word, being Christ, brings life to believers as it provides spiritual awakening and understanding.
The transformative power of the Word in the lives of believers is profound. According to John 1:4, 'In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.' This illustrates that true spiritual life is found in knowing Christ. The Word has the power to convict and to regenerate, providing believers with spiritual insight and understanding. As explained in Hebrews 4:12, the Word is alive and active, able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. It is through the revelation of the Word that individuals come to grips with their sinfulness and, seeing Christ as their Savior, are given new life. This life not only leads to salvation but continues to nourish and sustain believers throughout their journey in faith.
