The Benefit of the Word of God.

Hebrews 4:1–3 NKJV

1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

We all here believe the word of God.

Faith activates the benefits of the word of God.

The Word of God gives life.

Deuteronomy 8:3 (NKJV)

3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

We must know that man does not live by bread alone.

man was not created to live by eating and drinking only.

Our spiritual man lives by the word of God that proceeds out of his mouth.

Psalm 119:49–50 “49 Remember the word to Your servant, Upon which You have caused me to hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.”

The word of God gives light

Psalm 119:130 NKJV

130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

Psalm 119:105 NKJV

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Lights brings clarity and makes us see thing the way they are,

Ephesians 5:13 “13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.”

helps us to walk and navigate our way without stumbling.

The word of God gives spiritual light (discernment) it enables us to navigate our life in this world that is filled with darkness without stumbling or falling ,and seeing clearly the path that is set before us.

The word of God keeps us from sin.

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV)

11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

From what was David hiding God’s word.

It is from the devil because the devil knows the power of God’s word to keep you from sin.So he comes to steall it from you by causing you to doubt it,

Eg. Adam and Eve.

The Word of God gives healing.

Psalm 107:19–21 (NKJV)

19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.

20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

It brings healings to the soul, it is also healing to the body.

It is medicine.

Matthew 8:8 “8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.”

The Word of God is a powerful weapon

Hebrews 4:12 NKJV

12 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.

The sword of the spirit is the Word of God.

Example, Jesus temptation by the Devil.

Conclusion

If we continue to beleive the Word of God that hear, that we read, that is spoken over our life then we will reap all this benefits.
