1. It is important to know how God works. The Bible shows us how He does all things: through His Word. It has been this way since creation. It is also revealed to us that the Word of God is His own Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, only the Word can truly accomplish God’s work (Genesis 1:1-3; John 1:1-3).
2. God created the Earth to place man on it, so that he might fulfill His will. However, Satan tried to thwart the divine plan, contaminating the Earth with rebellion. Even so, God did not give up on it; rather, He wanted to restore it. And how did this happen? Through His Spirit, which began to act when activated by the Word, which is the very Son of God (Genesis 1:1-3).
3. God accomplishes His work through the Spirit and the Word. Just as in creation, the Spirit of God is ready to hear the commanding voice and execute the divine will. The Son of God, who is the Word itself, perfectly knows the Father’s heart and manifests Himself as the commanding voice, activating the Spirit to fully accomplish God’s will (Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:1-3; John 1:1-3).
4. “He who remains attached to the vine does not produce fruit by his own merit, but by the sap of the vine. Likewise, in the church life, the fruits are for the glory of the Father. The only merit of the branch is to remain attached to the vine” (John 15:5) (Daily Food, book 4, week 4, Monday, pp. 56-57)
