It’s easy to feel sometimes that communication with God is a hard thing to do. But He has always spoken with His people. And now He speaks to us through the Bible. His Word plays an essential part in modern-day discipleship.

Following Jesus demands more than simple belief in the Word of God. According to John 8:31, only those who “continue” in the Word of God are truly His disciples.

Continuing in God’s Word is not simply believing it, and it is more than just reading it. Continuing in His Word means resting in it, being nourished by it, and abiding in it.

In this message, Dr. Stanley urges believers to continue in the Word of God by studying it, being sustained by it, submitting to its authority, and ultimately sharing the Word of God with others.
