ABOUT

Truth Talk is a ministry dedicated to sharing, clarifying, and teaching God’s Word via panel discussions. 

 

How important is the Word of God?  Jesus’ use of the Word to oppose Satan is indicative of the importance of the Word God. The Lord declared, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).  Jesus made this statement in response to one of Satan’s three temptations.  In each of the temptations, Satan tempted Jesus to act outside of the will of God.  Jesus' answer to each temptation began with the phrase, “It is written.” 

 

Just as our Savior used the Word of God to thwart Satan’s attacks, so must believers live by the Word of God.  A simple but important question to ask is, what is the Word of God?  The Word of God is every word spoken by God to man that is recorded, which we know as the Bible.  What does it mean then to live by the Word of God?  In a broad sense, it means to be so saturated with the Word that by it, the Spirit of God controls and directs our thoughts and actions.
