13 Verses About the Word of God: A Guide to Life

In this world of darkness, we frequently encounter storms and life presents us with various challenges and trials. How can we remain steadfast amidst life’s storms? We invite you to explore the following phrases from the Scriptures about God’s word, offering direction and tranquility to your life’s journey.

1. “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word” (Psalm 119:9).

This scripture isn’t merely a wise saying but a pathway of life leading to genuine purification. As we navigate this chaotic world, facing countless temptations and uncertainties, we require a pure guide to direct our actions. That’s when God’s word becomes a spring of purification for our bodies and souls, cleansing the dust from within and setting the right course for our conduct. In God’s word, we discover the cornerstone of truth, the path to salvation, the genuine source of purification for our actions, and the correct orientation for life. The source of purified conduct doesn’t stem from our personal efforts but from obeying God’s word. Yet, obeying God’s word is not solely about adhering to behavioral norms; it’s also about purifying the soul. When we integrate God’s word into our lives, our corrupt behavior gradually becomes cleaner, and the journey of life becomes increasingly brighter. God says, “Whether the words spoken by God be plain or profound in outward appearance, they are all truths indispensable to man’s life entry; they are the fount of living waters that enables man to survive in both spirit and flesh. They provide what man needs to stay alive; the principles and creed for conducting his daily life; the path he must take to salvation, as well as its goal and direction; every truth that he should possess as a created being before God; and every truth about how man obeys and worships God. They are the guarantee that ensures man’s survival, they are man’s daily bread, and they are also the sturdy support that enables man to be strong and stand up. They are rich in the truth reality with which created mankind lives out normal humanity, rich in the truth by which mankind breaks free from corruption and eludes Satan’s snares, rich in the tireless teaching, exhortation, encouragement, and solace that the Creator gives to created humanity. They are the beacon that guides and enlightens men to understand all that is positive, the guarantee which ensures that men will live out and come into possession of all that is righteous and good, the criterion by which all people, events, and objects are measured, and also the navigation marker that leads men toward salvation and the path of light. Only in the practical experience of God’s words can man be supplied with the truth and with life; only herein can man come to understand what is normal humanity, what is a meaningful life, what is a genuine created being, what is real obedience to God; only herein can man come to understand how he should care for God, how to fulfill the duty of a created being, and how to possess the likeness of a real man; only herein can man come to understand what is meant by genuine faith and genuine worship; only herein can man come to understand who is the Ruler of the heavens and earth and all things; only herein can man come to understand the means by which the One who is the Master of all creation rules over, leads, and provides for creation; and only herein can man come to understand and grasp the means by which the One who is the Master of all creation exists, becomes manifest, and works(The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. Preface).

2. “The grass wither, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand for ever” (Isaiah 40:8).

This scripture profoundly illustrates that God’s word is unchanging. While plants wither away over time and flowers bloom briefly before wilting in the storms, God’s word remains unaffected by the ravages of time or the impact of worldly matters; it stands forever. We live in a rapidly changing era where everything is in flux. In this process, we might feel lost and directionless amidst the transience of things. Yet, just when everything seems elusive, this scripture reminds us of an enduring power—the power of God’s word! God’s word is the compass in our lives, a solace to our souls, transcending the limitations of time, and a sturdy pillar in our storms. Amidst life’s thorns, when we feel helpless and confused, God’s word becomes a guiding light, illuminating the path ahead.

May we always cherish and rely on the eternal power of God’s word in this ever-changing world. Let us seek guidance in His word, follow His will, and avoid losing our way on the journey of life.

3.“As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him” (Psalm 18:30).

This scripture reveals to us the perfection of the Most High’s path and the purity of His word. In this intricate and confusing world, filled with misleading information, people continually seek security and steadfast support. However, this scripture reminds us that God’s path is perfect; it’s the lighthouse of our faith, guiding us in the right direction. God’s word is flawless; whenever and wherever, it remains the strength of our lives, radiating with pure brilliance. When we seek refuge in God, He isn’t merely our Creator but also our strong shield. Amidst life’s storms, God’s word serves as our sanctuary, our secure fortress. Regardless of the world’s fluctuations, God’s word is an unwavering rock, providing us with genuine shelter.

May we constantly depend on the Most High on life’s journey, follow His path, and let His word guide our lives. By doing so, we find unshakable protection in His word, ensuring our lives and faith remain peaceful and steadfast.

4. The Lord Jesus said, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell not: for it was founded on a rock” (Matthew 7:24–25).

The Lord Jesus’ concise yet profound words reveal a crucial truth: Practicing God’s word is the key to wisdom and a stable life. In this unpredictable journey of life, we often have to face storms and challenges, and life is filled with various trials. Only God’s word serves as our guide and pillar in navigating these trials. Jesus not only taught us to listen to His teachings but emphasized the importance of putting them into action. When we choose to listen and put God’s word into practice, we establish an unshakable foundation for our lives. This foundation not only helps us withstand life’s tests—like rain, floods, and winds—but also enables us to stand firm in adversity. Practicing God’s word isn’t just about obeying it; it’s about deeply rooting God’s truth in our hearts, and allowing it to become part of our lives. It’s not a temporary effort but a lifelong practice. Just as Jesus said, it’s a wise decision, because our faith is built upon the solid rock of God’s word, sufficient to face all challenges and risks in life. God says, “The truth that man needs to possess is found in the word of God, and it is a truth that is the most beneficial and helpful to mankind. It is the tonic and sustenance that your body needs, something that helps man restore his normal humanity. It is a truth that man should be equipped with. The more you practice God’s word, the more quickly your life will blossom, and the clearer the truth will become. As you grow in stature, you will see things of the spiritual world more clearly, and the more strength you will have to triumph over Satan. Much of the truth that you do not understand will be made clear when you practice the word of God. Most people are satisfied to merely understand the text of God’s word and focus on equipping themselves with doctrines rather than on deepening their experience in practice, but is that not the way of the Pharisees? So how can the phrase, ‘The word of God is life’ be real for them? A person’s life cannot grow simply by reading God’s word, but only when the word of God is put into practice. If it is your belief that to understand God’s word is all that is needed to have life and stature, then your understanding is warped (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Once You Understand the Truth, You Should Put It Into Practice).

May we become wise individuals, not only frequently listening to God’s word but also putting it into practice in our daily lives. Let God’s word be the solid rock of our lives, a powerful weapon to overcome Satan. Only then can our lives flourish and grow within God’s word.

5. The Lord Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

This passage declares the authority and power of God’s word, surpassing everything. Even if the heavens and the earth change dramatically, and all things in the world fade away, God’s word remains unshaken. It’s a strong declaration reminding us that God’s word is an eternal, unchanging truth that transcends time and space. In this ever-changing world, God’s word stands as our eternal guide, the source of our faith and trust. In God’s word, we find hope for life, peace beyond time and space, and an everlasting truth that never fades. Let us rely on God’s word amid life’s turbulence, steadfastly walking the path guided by Him.

May we deeply comprehend and cherish God’s word in our daily lives. Despite the shifts of time and the challenges of the world, we can rely on God’s word, letting it be our source of confidence and strength, the very cornerstone of our faith, guiding us forward boldly on life’s journey.

6. “The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130).

This passage deeply communicates how God’s words can inspire wisdom, enlightening even the foolish. God’s words are spiritual revelations, much like light piercing through darkness to illuminate the perplexed soul. When we earnestly read and contemplate God’s words, their brilliance can illuminate our minds, dispelling our ignorance and confusion. Through God’s words, the foolish can gain wisdom and insight into the essence and value of life. God’s words are not mere text; they are truths and life given by God, guiding us toward truth and wisdom like a guiding light. They inspire our thoughts and light the path ahead as we move forward.

May we earnestly read and ponder God’s words every day, seeking the light He brings. In God’s truth, let us discover the source of wisdom, nourishing our thirsty lives and enriching them with greater significance.

7. Jesus said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

The words of the Lord Jesus convey a profound truth: What human life truly needs is more nourishment from God’s words, not merely material satisfaction. Food is necessary to sustain our physical lives, but what our spirits truly require is God’s word, as only His words can genuinely make our lives fulfilling and meaningful. However, in this noisy world, we are often misled by material temptations, neglecting our spiritual needs. The Lord Jesus reminds us that genuine fulfillment in life comes from longing for and obedience to God’s word. God’s word is the truth and life, our spiritual food, not only providing energy for our souls but also guiding the direction of our lives.

May we always remember the Lord Jesus’ teachings, seeking fulfillment in our spiritual lives by turning away from worldly pursuits and turning towards the pursuit of God’s word. Through this pursuit, we can establish a strong faith, allowing our lives to flourish and grow. True nourishment in life originates from every word uttered by God.

8. “Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jeremiah 15:16).

This passage expresses a deep yearning for God’s word, regarding it as nourishment for the spiritual life and a feast for the soul. As we read and contemplate God’s word, we discover His truth, wisdom, and love contained within. Our inner being finds satisfaction in His truth, and our souls are comforted, enlightened, and filled with joy. Engaging in conversation with God is an intimate exchange, a process that nourishes and revitalizes our spirits. This profound and meaningful dialogue with God surpasses all worldly pleasures, becoming the most profound experience in our lives.

May we consider God’s word as sustenance for our souls in our daily lives. Let us maintain an open mindset, cherishing the beautiful moments of conversing with God, for His word brings joy and happiness to our hearts and serves as the source of nourishment for our spirits.

9. “Why lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21).

This passage teaches us to depart from impurity and evil with meekness, by embracing God’s teachings. It’s not merely about moral standards but about using God’s teachings to purify our bodies and souls from sin. How does God purify our sins with His words? God says, “Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering; He did not rid man of all his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to become the sin offering and bear the sins of man, but it also required God to do even greater work to rid man completely of his satanically corrupted disposition. And so, now that man has been forgiven of his sins, God has returned to the flesh to lead man into the new age, and begun the work of chastisement and judgment. This work has brought man into a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and they shall gain the truth, the way, and the life(The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Preface).

From God’s words, we see that during the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus only performed the work of redemption. Our belief in the Lord only grants forgiveness of sins, but our sinful nature remains deeply rooted. We are often bound by the shackles of sinful natures, living in constant torment and agony due to sin. God fully understands our anguish in sin, so the Lord Jesus has come back in the last days; He has expressed many truths to do the work of judgment and purification. This work aims to completely save us from the bondage of sin, allowing us to achieve purification and enter the kingdom to live eternally with the Lord. Hence, only by accepting the truths expressed by the Lord in the last days can our bodies and souls, bound by sin, attain true liberation.

God’s words are the source of life, the very force that created the universe and infused all things with vitality. Every utterance from God’s mouth carries divine power.

In every hardship or challenge we encounter, God’s word remains our steadfast reliance, guiding us toward triumph and success. God says, “Whether the words spoken by God be plain or profound in outward appearance, they are all truths indispensable to man’s life entry; they are the fount of living waters that enables man to survive in both spirit and flesh. They provide what man needs to stay alive; the principles and creed for conducting his daily life; the path he must take to salvation, as well as its goal and direction; every truth that he should possess as a created being before God; and every truth about how man obeys and worships God. They are the guarantee that ensures man’s survival, they are man’s daily bread, and they are also the sturdy support that enables man to be strong and stand up. They are rich in the truth reality with which created mankind lives out normal humanity, rich in the truth by which mankind breaks free from corruption and eludes Satan’s snares, rich in the tireless teaching, exhortation, encouragement, and solace that the Creator gives to created humanity.
