“For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.” (1 Peter 1:23 NLT)
The oxygen that we breathe in is carried by our blood cells to all the regions of our body. If the heart stops pumping, our blood stops circulating. Then it’s only a matter of time before our cells and tissue die from lack of oxygen. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provides a way to revive a person whose heart has stopped temporarily.
“Revive me by your word.” (Psalm 119:25 NLT)
The Word of God has the power to resuscitate a languid soul. It transforms us by changing the way we think. The expressions of God convey truth, strengthening and encouraging us. We learn God’s will for us--which is good, pleasing, and perfect.
The Bible is an excellent prayer manual. God enlightens us through Scripture. We can use these same words to communicate with Him. This Divine dialect has power. God’s voice comes through Scripture, stirring our conscience. It reawakens life in us, quickening our pulse, inspiring us with the Spirit. It revives every soul.
