The Word Leads to Resurrection

Crossing the Jordan was a greater experience of the power of God than the fall of Jericho. Walls can fall down but water doesn't "stand up in a heap". The children of Israel had to follow the Ark. [Joshua 3:3-4.] The Lord cannot provide resurrection Life contrary to his Word. Jesus said...   the words that I speak are words of Spirit and words of Life. [John 6:63.] "The Word of God is quick and  powerful" [Hebrews 4:12.] Psalms 119:97 (KJV)
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

Tokens of the Power of The Lord
¶ Vs. 1. When the Amorites and the Cannanites heard of Israel's God opening the Jordan river for them their "heart melted". When we are travelling with The Lord Paul said - 2 Corinthians 2:15 (KJV) 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: In the previous verse, verse 14 it is clearly stated that this evidence is there because it is God that causes us to "triumph in Christ".
