THE LIVING WORD: HOW GOD STILL SPEAKS THROUGH SCRIPTURE TODAY

Did you read my recent post “Does God Speak To Us Today“? If not can I suggest you do so as it is a precursor to this post.

Many people view the Bible as an ancient religious text, a historical document, or a collection of moral teachings. But Scripture is far more than that. The Bible is God’s living communication — His ongoing conversation with His people. When we open its pages, we are not merely reading words; we are encountering the voice, heart, and wisdom of the living God.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, Paul writes that “All Scripture is God‑breathed.” This means the Bible did not originate from human imagination or cultural tradition. It came from the very breath of God — the same breath that spoke creation into existence, the same breath that gives life to every believer.

To say Scripture is “God‑breathed” is to say it carries His authority, His truth, and His life. It is not outdated. It is not silent. It is not powerless. Every verse carries the imprint of the One who inspired it, making the Bible eternally relevant and spiritually alive.

How the Holy Spirit Uses Scripture to Transform Hearts

The Spirit of God works through the Word of God to shape the people of God. When we read Scripture with open hearts, the Holy Spirit illuminates truth, convicts us of sin, strengthens our faith, and reveals the character of Christ.

  • A single verse can bring comfort in grief.
  • A familiar passage can suddenly speak with new clarity.
  • A story we’ve read many times can reveal a fresh layer of God’s wisdom.

This is not coincidence — it is the Spirit actively working through the living Word. The Bible is not static ink on paper; it is a divine instrument the Spirit uses to renew minds, heal wounds, and guide our steps.

Why Daily Engagement With God’s Word Matters

If Scripture is truly God’s living communication, then spending time in it is not a religious duty — it is a lifeline. Daily engagement with the Word keeps our hearts aligned with God’s heart. It anchors us in truth when the world feels chaotic. It nourishes our spirit the way food nourishes the body.

Even a few minutes a day can open the door for God to speak, correct, encourage, and strengthen you. The more we immerse ourselves in Scripture, the more clearly we recognize God’s voice in every part of life.

One thought on “THE LIVING WORD: HOW GOD STILL SPEAKS THROUGH SCRIPTURE TODAY

  1. Dear Ron, You.probably know this is what is called, the Rhema word. It is exactly what you said, The original historic script speaking into our lives with very up to date input and guidance. That is what we had in mind when we started our Bible Reading Fellowship. A time spent reading God’s Word together and sharing the thoughts the Holy Spirit brings to mind and applying it to our lives and world today. So many traditional believers read it like a history book or old words of wisdom, and don’t recognise it it is God’s living Word for us today, and can speak personally to us. We have experienced that ourselves and wanted others to see it in a different way. I fear some Leaders even warn people against taking God’s Word this way and say it is for guidance but not for personal application. But it can speak powerfully into our lives today. Lesley
