Words of life
By Max Sahl | Wycliffe Today Spring 2024 |
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realise what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)
As a young man, I personally experienced the power of God’s Word to transform a life – my own life! The Scriptures tell us the history of God’s people and point us to Jesus Christ, but they are also living and active and penetrate into the deepest parts of our soul. These words are just as powerful and relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. As Paul shares in his second letter to Timothy, ALL Scripture is inspired by God, guides us in holy living and helps to equip us for ‘every good work’.
This edition of Wycliffe Today shares powerful testimonies about lives and communities that have been transformed for eternity by the power of God’s Word. We also honour the lives of Des and Jenny Oatridge – a humble couple who dedicated their lives to not only translating the Bible but also helping to save an entire people group on the brink of extinction.
May you be encouraged in the truth and power of God’s Word!
