Sin. The one thing that hinders a Believer’s life. Separates him or her from God. Drives a wedge right between fellow – ship. The sure cure for sin IS the Word of God. it’s interesting to see how sin and God’s Word are associated in that it is the Word of God that can drive it out. .
Romans 12:21 tells us ”Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” The only good thing I know of on this planet is the Word of God. David said in Psalm 119:11 ”Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” It is the Word of God that drives sin away. Notice how ridding yourself of bad thoughts is associated with the Word of God, “I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.” (Psalm 119:113). How the Word of God is a great preventive measure: ” Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.” (Psalm 119:133) It is the Word of God that is guaranteed to get rid of sin in our lives!
O Lord help us to crave the Word of God as a newborn babe would crave milk! ”As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” —1 Peter 2:2
