Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

The Word of God Blesses Us, Part 3 of 3 (Changed by the Word)

January 15, 2018

Growth in the Christian life is not automatic. Spirituality does not drop down from heaven like the morning dew. Each believer is responsible to spend focused time in the Word of God and thereby mature into the image of Christ.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

How can we take home more from church than we ever thought possible?  Many times, sermons seem to sail right by us, but let’s discover together how to be changed by God’s Word.

The Bible is not like an encyclopedia. You read it not so much to learn, but to find your life changed. James tells us to “receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”

What truly has lasting value?  People look to bank accounts, jewels and precious metals as things they can count on when the going gets tough. But the Word of God declares itself to be more valuable than gold.

“The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.” Even when we have days which dispel our joy, we can focus on the Word of God, clinging to a joy the world cannot take away.

Psalm 19 is a song of praise concerning the Word of God. It shows us the characteristics of God, and how they parallel those of His written Word. God and His Word transform His people.

“The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” These words from Psalm 19 shed light on the educating power of the Scriptures. Wisdom floods our souls as we sit under its instruction, and we all can be “Changed by the Word.”

The Christian life is a growth process, not a single event. Once we come to faith, we begin a lifelong journey toward being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Over time, Jesus increasingly shines forth through those who have matured in their faith.

Each believer needs the Word of God on a daily basis, just like we need food and water. We need to develop an appetite for the Bible, but sin can curb that appetite. Let’s make the way clear for the Word of God to do its work.

Were it not for an act of God done in our lives, we would never be a new creation in Christ. Only God creates this new identity, because the Word of God, through the Spirit of God, causes us to experience new life.

Over a period of 1,600 years, God inspired about 40 authors to pen the Bible. This book is far more than a collection of writings. It’s the revealed word of God, and it has the power to transform our lives.
