For instance, &#8220;&#8230;I am against you, saith  the Lord GOD.&#8221; (Ezek. 13 :8b). Nevertheless, to have the  Word of God for you is a terrific, desirable condition. &#8220;No  weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; &#8221; (Isa.  54:17).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     I read about two Romanists, a man and his wife, who many  years ago possessed a copy of the Scriptures, of which they  had never seen before. The husband began to read it and one  night, as he sat beside the fire, with the Word of God said,  &#8220;Wife, if this Book is right, we are wrong.&#8221; He continued  reading and a few days later bemoaned, &#8220;Wife, if this Book is  right, we are lost.&#8221; More interested and eager than ever before  to see what the Word of the Lord said, he studied the Book  until one night he could joyfully, exclaim, &#8220;Wife, if this Book  is true, we are saved!&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     The same Book that showed them that they were undone,  unprepared and unsaved, also, revealed to them the Gospel of  Salvation. That is the Glory of the Word of God. It is against  us until it leads us out of our sin to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus  Christ. Then it becomes a fountain of life and a spring of  living water! Before it was against us but now it justifies us  and &#8220;&#8230;if God be for us, who can be against us?&#8221; (Rom.  8:31b) \u2014 G.T. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepared by Roger Fulk, from excerpts from the \u201cBaptist Bread\u201d September  10, 2021 devotional by author Gary Trout, Pastor, Bellepoint Baptist Church, Hinton, WV.
