The power of god's word

In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he was complementing them on their faith and affirming them in their confession of Christ.  In so doing, we get a great picture of the power of God's word in the life of one who comes to Him.  Here in chapter 2 verse 13 he says it clearly:

1Th. 2:13   And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
The word of God is not just text on a page, but God's love communicated to us. Its power is what it does inside... the second part of v. 13 says it so well.  "which is at work in you believers".   Praise God!
