A young woman once tried to assemble a bookshelf without the manual. After hours of frustration, pieces backward and screws missing, she gave up—until someone handed her the instruction guide. In just thirty minutes, following step-by-step, the pieces came together perfectly.
Trying to live without the Word of God is like building a life without the manual. God’s Word is not just helpful—it’s truth. It shows us who we are, who God is, and how to walk in His will.
In John 17, Jesus is praying for His disciples—and for us. He doesn’t ask that we be taken out of the world, but that we be set apart within it—by truth. And then He makes this powerful declaration: “Your Word is truth.”
This means that God’s Word isn’t just true—it is the standard of truth. In a world of opinions, changing narratives, and moral confusion, His Word anchors us. It convicts, corrects, encourages, and empowers.
