iPhone users have an app on their phone that allows them to set reminders or things to do on their phone. In this app, there is a spot that lets them rank what they schedule by priority level, ranging from low to high. The fact that they get to do this puts me in mind of the Word of God. And it behooves me to ask at what level of importance does the Word of God rate in your life? Is it low, medium, or high? As believers in Christ, it should be of high importance. Here are ten reasons why the Word of God is so important to the life of every Believer.

6. The Word of God is alive and powerful.

 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ~Hebrews 4:12

We are alive because of the Word.

The Word of God gives us our origination. It’s how we came into being. From the beginning it has been the stream that has supplied us with the knowledge of the fullness of God. It still supplies us today. There’s nothing the life of a Believer will ever lack when he/she has the Word of God in it.
