Wednesday Evening Bible Study
Title: The Word that Speaks
Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 (also Hebrews 1:1-3, 2 Peter 1:16-21)
The Word of God must be proclaimed (preached)
· Central theme of God’s revelation is Jesus
· Revelation – God’s word to biblical authors
· Inspiration – God’s word from the biblical authors to the written page
· Illumination – God’s word from the written page applied to my world
The Word of God demands a response
· Rejection of the Word leads to judgment
· Acceptance of the Word leads to union with Christ
The Word of God shapes my worldview
· Suffering takes on a new meaning
· My affections take on a new focus – Christ
Cherish the Bible deeply. Study the Bible faithfully. Conform to the Bible completely
