Today’s Promise

God’s Word Keeps Me From Sin

Psalm 119:11

Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.


God’s Word

The Word of God is the foundation of the Christian life. God’s Word (the Bible) gives us an understanding of God, the teachings of Jesus, and instructions on living the Christian life. 

In Romans 10:17 the Bible says our faith is developed by hearing the Word of God. Through reading and listening to God’s Word, we develop a better understanding of who God is and who we are.

However, something powerful happens when you put God’s Word into your heart. The Psalmist describes it as treasuring God’s Word.

As you read, study, and memorize God’s Word, it begins transforming your thinking, your attitudes, and even how you live.

The more you place God’s Word in your life, the more His Word works to make you more like Christ. As you “treasure” or make God’s Word a priority in your life, His Word renews your mind and keeps you from sin.

God’s Thought – Your Thoughs

As you think on God’s Word throughout your day, the Holy Spirit begins renewing and transforming your mind. God’s Word begins to change your thinking. God’s thoughts become your thoughts. His Word becomes your Word.

As you focus on God’s Word, it becomes your guiding blueprint for living. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16 that God’s Word will teach, reproof, correct, and train you. 

The more you allow God’s Word to become a part of your life, the more His word shows you how to line up your life with His Word. As this happens, you become more aware of sin and its consequences in your life. God’s Word becomes a guide that shows you where you stepped off the path and how to get back to all God has for you.

D. L. Moody

The great American Evangelist Dwight L. Moody once said, “The Bible will keep you from sin, and sin will keep you from the Bible.”

As you place God’s Word deep in your heart, it transforms your thinking and living. It will keep you from sin and give you strength when tempted. When you do sin, it shows you how to get back with the Lord. 

The Psalmist and Dwight Moody were right: The more you treasure God’s Word in your heart, the more you will walk in purity and obedience before the Lord.

Look at that promise again.

Your Word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You. – Psalm 119:11

Make these confessions.

  • As I treasure God’s Word, it renews my mind.

  • God’s Word shows me when I sin and how to get right with God.

    Amen

As you allow God’s Word to go deep into your heart, it transforms your life and keeps you from sin.
