HOW CAN WE ACCESS THE PURE WORD OF GOD?

HOW CAN WE ACCESS THE PURE WORD OF GOD?

Many people read the Bible, but not everyone truly reaches the Pure Word of God. What most of us don’t realize is that reading the Bible once doesn’t automatically mean we have grasped the words that have the power to transform our lives completely.

It’s important to understand that the Bible is not as straightforward as it may seem. It contains the Pure Word of God, which cannot be accessed through casual reading alone. Those who are able to reach it experience profound spiritual transformation because of the Word’s power.

Today, by God’s grace, we’ll explore how someone can access this Word:

The Bible compares God’s Word to silver in some places and to gold in others.

For example, Psalm 12:6 says:

“The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.”

This verse tells us that, just like refining silver or gold, accessing the Pure Word of God involves a process.

When silver or gold is first mined, it doesn’t shine like the jewelry we see in stores. Instead, it is mixed with rocks, dirt, and impurities. To make it pure, the metal must be melted in intense heat. The impurities rise to the surface, while the pure silver or gold remains at the bottom. The impurities are then removed, and the metal solidifies again. This process is often repeated multiple times until the metal is completely refined, shining brilliantly.

God uses this as a metaphor for His Word. The Pure Word of God is like silver refined seven times. In other words, there are seven steps—or levels of refinement—to truly access God’s Word, which is meant to bring powerful transformation into our lives.

So how do we reach this “sevenfold refinement”?

If you read the Bible once and think you’ve understood everything, you haven’t yet reached the Pure Word of God. Reaching it requires patience, reflection, and repeated meditation—not just casual reading like a newspaper.

For instance, you may read the story of how God delivered the Israelites from Egypt. The first time, you might understand it simply as a story. If you stop there, thinking you’ve understood it all, the Bible will feel no different from any other historical book.

But if you decide to reflect on it again, pray for God’s guidance, and read it slowly with an open heart, you’ll begin to see deeper truths you missed the first time.

If you keep asking the Holy Spirit for understanding and return to the same passage repeatedly, you will be amazed at the new insights you discover—things you never noticed before.

The more you repeat this process, the more God’s Word is refined in your heart. Its power penetrates your spirit, leading to real transformation in your life.

The problem comes when we assume we’ve “finished” the Bible. When we read a story or a lesson and think, “I already know this,” we skim over the text or even skip important details.

Sometimes in church, a lesson is taught that you’ve heard before, and instead of listening carefully, you dismiss it: “I already understand this.”

Remember, the Pure Word of God is refined through seven stages of understanding.

I hope that from now on, we all commit to truly meditating on Scripture. Our goal is to experience the real power of God’s Word in our lives. Let’s dedicate ourselves to studying the Bible diligently.

May the Lord bless you abundantly.
