God’s Word Operates
The Word of God is living and operative (Hebrews 4:12). It always prospers in accord with God’s desire (Isaiah 55:11). When God said, “Let light come to be!” light did in fact come to be (Genesis 1:3). Consequently, we may be assured that when God says, through His chosen apostle to the nations, that He will become “All in All” (I Corinthians 15:28), this will indeed become so. And when He says concerning us, who are believing His evangel concerning His Son, that God prefers us from the beginning for salvation (II Thessalonians 2:13), we may be certain that this special salvation (c.f. I Timothy 4:10) will be fully enjoyed, even as it is enjoyed in spirit today as we are believing (c.f. Ephesians 1:13, 14; I Thessalonians 1:5). Believing what God says to us concerning the good He has achieved and that will be realized through the death, entombment and resurrection of Christ has powerful effects on us in our lives. It is a message of power, bringing grace and peace.
