Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

1427 is because God had said so, and God is faithful to His Word.

Do you see that biblical truth here?

We're at not for the Word of God, and God's faithfulness to His Word,

then salvation would not be possible.

That's for sure true in my life.

The only reason I have experienced salvation is because God's Word is true,

and He is faithful to it.

This is true in your life.

The only way you can experience salvation from sin,

eternal life, is if God's Word is true, and if He is faithful to it.

I think about one of my kids who wrote something just this last week where he titled it,

how Jesus Christ has saved us, and He basically just shared the gospel,

and as I'm reading 2 Kings 1427, I'm thinking about what that gospel is,

how God loved us enough to send His Son Jesus to die on a cross for our sins

that through faith in Him, we might be forgiven of all our sins

and filled with His Spirit and reconciled to relationship with Him.

That reconciliation, that salvation from sin is only possible

based on the Word of God, and God's faithfulness to His Word.

So we pray, all glory be to your name, O God, for your Word,

for your Word that saves us.

O God, we cannot save ourselves.
