Can you list some of the many aspects that the Word of God is to a believer in Christ?

The written word of God is well spoken of in the second letter of Peter, first chapter. I will extract a few verses from that chapter:

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through the you may participate in the divine nature an escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires...

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

...And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.

For prophecy never had its origin in the will of men, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

All of those wonderful things are contained in Gods word, the Bible. It contains

God s power

Gods knowledge

God s promises

God s truth

Gods historic actions

God s prophecies

God s light

God s hope

God s very words

All of those things are mentioned in those few verses I quoted from. God s word functions as life itself to those who know its worth! AiH

JESUS IS THE WORD !!! {Let this Mind be in You} I've left off numbering all the positive aspects in CHRIST JESUS. As in HIS SPIRIT every aspect of everything can be understood. You mentioned The washing of the WORD OF GOD. The pure TRUTH in THE BIBLE washes away all confusion and every antichrist doctrine! This total cleansing is described of what you mentioned as THE BRIDE OF CHRIST! Notice in Revelation SHE is given a gown of fine linen clean and white! The translation Paul taught of concerns HER. SHE is raptured for THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. SHE made HERSELF ready in fulfilling THE WORD OF GOD FOR HER!!! Now don't confuse HER CHRISTIANITY with those others spoken of in Revelation. Those that came up out of great tribulation Notice they were only given white robes. These were mostly murdered for witness TO JESUS. What happened to these was caused by many antichrist doctrines. They where refused entrance into THE MARRIAGE. These are martyrs. They washed their robes in THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. These shall rule and reign with JESUS a thousand years upon HIS RETURN. So be advised not everybody claiming CHRIST is the same!!! Now every aspect of everything is covered by THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH HIS SPIRIT !!!

HIM BLESS YOU

I am not sure if this is what you are referring to but here are a few examples. Prayer is a matter of simply asking for something. Prayer should be addressed to God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Ghost (Jhn. 16:23-24; Acts 12:5; Jhn. 14:13; Eph. 6:18; Jud. 1:20), and prayers should always be PRAYED, not merely SAID (Mat. 6:7).

A child of God should pray for his own needs or desires (Jas. 4:2; Mar. 11:24; Luk. 11:9-13), as well as the needs and desires of others (Luk. 10:2; Col. 1:9; I Ths. 5:17-25; I Tim. 2:1-5; Jas. 5:14).

There are also conditions of prayer, such as having a FORGIVING SPIRIT when we pray (Mar. 11:25), BELIEVING that God will answer our prayers (Mar. 11:24; Jas. 1:6-7), CONFESSION of any iniquity in our hearts (Psa. 66:18), SEEKING GOD'S WILL (Luk. 22:42), and KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS (I Jhn. 3:22).

Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:17 for us to pray without ceasing. Also see I John 5:14-15, John 15:7, Matthew 7:7-8, James 5:16, Psalm 55:17, Philippians 4:6, 19, and Hebrews 4:16.

Sanctification is the act of being set apart from sin and uncleanliness AND being set apart for God's service. My soul was sanctified the day I received Christ as my Savior (Acts 20:32; I Cor. 1:2; 6:11; Heb. 10:10, 14).

To "believe" in the Bible is to fully rely on God's word. True belief is much more than mental assent, because even the devils believe mentally (Jas. 2:19). Bible belief involves conviction and commitment. A person who truly believes on Christ is a person who has fully RECEIVED Christ (Jhn. 1:12). To believe on Christ is to totally rely on HIM ALONE for salvation (Jhn. 3:16, 36; 5:24; 6:47; 11:25-26; Acts 16:30-31; Rom. 4:5; 10:9-10; I Jhn. 5:10-13; Gal. 3:22; I Ths. 2:13).

When a person receives Christ as Savior, he is BORN AGAIN, for his dead spirit is made alive, or "quickened" (Eph. 2:1). The Holy Spirit takes up residence inside the new believer (Eph. 4:30) and gives him a new life in Christ (Gal. 2:20; II Cor. 5:17). Every real Christian has been born again, and no one has been born again who is not a Christian.

It is the duty of all sinners to confess their sinful condition and forsake their sins by receiving Jesus Christ as their Savior (Pro. 28:13; Mat. 10:32; Rom. 10:9-10). Christians are told to confess their sins in order to obtain forgiveness and to maintain fellowship with God (I Jn. 1:9). Sins are to be confessed TO THE LORD, not to any human being (including Mary), for the Lord Jesus Christ is the One mediator between God and men (I Tim. 2:5).

When a person repents, he changes his mind about something and proceeds in a different direction. God commands all sinners to repent of their sins and turn to Him for salvation (Acts 17:30-31; Luk. 13:3). A person who truly repents is a person who will (1) Become saddened about their sins (II Cor. 7:9-10; Psa. 51), (2) forsake their sins (Mt. 3:8; Acts 26:20), and (3) submit themselves to the will of God (Acts 9:6). Anything less is something less than Biblical repentance.

Prayer is a matter of simply asking for something. Prayer should be addressed to God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Ghost (Jhn. 16:23-24; Acts 12:5; Jhn. 14:13; Eph. 6:18; Jud. 1:20), and prayers should always be PRAYED, not merely SAID (Mat. 6:7).

A child of God should pray for his own needs or desires (Jas. 4:2; Mar. 11:24; Luk. 11:9-13), as well as the needs and desires of others (Luk. 10:2; Col. 1:9; I Ths. 5:17-25; I Tim. 2:1-5; Jas. 5:14).

There are also conditions of prayer, such as having a FORGIVING SPIRIT when we pray (Mar. 11:25), BELIEVING that God will answer our prayers (Mar. 11:24; Jas. 1:6-7), CONFESSION of any iniquity in our hearts (Psa. 66:18), SEEKING GOD'S WILL (Luk. 22:42), and KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS (I Jhn. 3:22).
