The Holy Bible IS the Living Word of God

In human courts and legislature, some are claiming they need to interpret older legislation to meet current situations in order to keep the laws relevant.  Often these interpretations seem more like redefining to meet faddish trends and narrow opinions rather than protecting the innocent from persecution.  Man’s laws may change, but God’s Word remains a living and vibrant thing just as it is.  The Holy Bible contains examples, wisdom, and direction that is always key to living a good life.  Although the Word has been translated into multiple versions, it should never be revised or rewritten to try to fit current or future events or deceive people into falling false teachings.  The Bible is and will always be how mankind is judged as innocent or guilty for eternity.

For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow,
and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 
And no creature is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed
to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. - Hebrews 4:12-13 (ESV)

The reference to “Word of God” in above scriptures directly points to the Holy Bible.  Scriptures preceding it point to the Old Testament telling how the Jews came out of Egyptian slavery then missed the Promised Land because they did not have faith in God to fulfill his promises and they also broke some of the directives in His covenant with them as well as the Ten Commandments. The above scriptures also points to Jesus, who is the living personification of the Word of God in the New Testament.  Jesus often cited prior scripture and stories in His teaching to show how God’s Words remain relevant and helpful to all.  

How does this apply directly to you today?  When you read and study the Holy Bible, you learn more of God and build upon your relationship with Him.  The words can convict you of your sins and lead you to repentance.  After becoming a Christian, the words will guide you and direct your path to being all God wants you to be.  When you reach the judgement seat of God, Jesus will intercede for you as if He were your defense attorney.  Your testimony will be how well you followed God's directions.  You will be judged against the Word, so be sure you know it well and do your best to live by it.
