Adrian Rogers: The Word of God (1948)

About this sermon

Adrian Rogers: The Word of God (1948) Scripture Passage: 1 Peter 1:23-25 There is an ongoing war over the Bible. There are those who despise it, but some of the greatest enemies of the Bible are those who disregard that it is the very Word of God. If we want the kingdom authority that God has promised His children, we must be under the authority of the Word of God. We must see it as incontestable: there is no contest, controversy, or denial that the Bible is the Word of God. The Bible is absolutely perfect, for the God of truth cannot speak in error. 1 Peter 1:23 claims: “...having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever…” Second, we must see the Bible as the incorruptible Word of God; there is no blemish or spot in it. Though many have come against it with their own personal agendas and opinions, the Bible outstands them all. Third, we see that it is indestructible: “...because “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever...” (1 Peter 1:24-25). Finally, the Word of God is indispensable: “Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you” (1 Peter 1:25). The Gospel is the message of the church, and we get the Gospel from Scripture. We don’t need a new or modern Gospel for the new and modern age; it stands the test of time. The Bible also prescribes the church’s method, which is (and always will be) preaching. Adrian Rogers says, “No church will ever grow and prosper and be a New Testament church until the pulpit is central and the Gospel is central in the pulpit.” In order to join a church body, one must be born again into the family of God. Only the Gospel can grow this family, and therefore, grow the Church. Apply it to your life Do you see the Bible as the incontestable, incorruptible, indestructible, indispensable Word of God? Adrian Rogers says, “We can never have Kingdom Authority, speak or preach with authority, witness with authority, live with authority until we get under the authority of the Word of God.” - If you would like more information, please visit our website: http://www.lwf.org/ Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lwfministries Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lwfministries/ Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lwfministries Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/lwfministries Write to us: Love Worth Finding Ministries P.O.
