Why is relying on God's Word important for Christians?

For Christians, the importance of relying on God's Word cannot be overstated. Spurgeon teaches that while worldly sources of comfort may fail, God's Word is eternally steadfast and life-giving. In times of suffering, believers are encouraged to turn to Scripture, which not only offers comfort but also quickens their spirits, reinforcing their hope and faith. It is through the active presence of the Holy Spirit applying God's Word that believers find strength, encouragement, and the necessary perspective during hardship.
