Ac 5:17-21 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, 18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
The optimum point is the words of life.
Proverb 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Dt 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Dt 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death , blessing and cursing: therefore choose life , that both thou and thy seed may live:
Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Jn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Somebody might have to hold my mule right about now! I really get excited about this! You have to speak the word of God which are the words of life. Now in order to speak the word of God you have to know the word and in order to know the word of God you have to study the word.
Paul said in 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Now this suggests that you can wrongly divide the word, so you need to spend quality time studying the word. You can't just rely on what you learned in Sunday School or Vacation Bible School 20 or 30 years ago. You can't go by something you thought you heard somebody say one day. You can't rely on cliches and old wives tales. You need to study the word for yourself. This may require you to get some bible study helps, i.e., books, cd's, dvd's, etc. Enroll in a Bible College. Invest in your education of the word. These are words of life.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The word of God is alive and powerful! There is a reason the bible is the number one selling book in the world. It's Alive. It's Life! Many best sellers come and go, but the word never gets stale and old. It is always fresh and new. That is because it is the word(s) of God and God is alive.
Ac 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being ; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
