How to use GOD-GIVEN in a sentence?
-
President Ronald Reagan:
Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people. We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should. Happy Fourth of July.
-
Steve Deace:
We can’t have God-given rights if we can’t have our God.
-
Jeb Bush:
I’m proud of the campaign that we have run to unify the country. And to advocate for conservative solutions that would give more Americans the opportunity to rise up and reach their God-given potential. But the people of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina have spoken, i respect their decision.
-
Barack Obama:
I want to make sure that the whole world is able to pass onto future generations the God-given beauty of this planet, if all of America is joining around this critical project, then we can have confidence that we’re doing right by future generations and passing onto our kids all the blessings that we’ve received.
-
Ohio Gov. John Kasich:
That is conservatism, to give people a chance to live out their God-given potential, and because some people say they don’t like my tone or because I question abolishing Medicare or Medicaid, that that’s not conservative? Listen, I have a plan to improve Medicare and Medicaid. I have done it in Ohio. To say that we’re going to deport 10 or 11 million people and divide families, that’s just nutty.

We’ve all done it. At one time or another, usually around this time of year, we decide to change some things in our life. And we’re serious about it. So serious that we commit it to paper. We make lists or even step-by-step plans. We publicly share it with others. We make an earnest commitment to change and truly believe we will be victorious.
We have a name for this phenomenon. It’s called the New Year’s Resolution. We resolve to make vital changes we think will enhance our life.
According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, 45% of us play the New Year’s Resolution game. But after only one month, 25% of us drop out. The drop-out rate increases as the months slip by. In fact, they go on to suggest that only 8% of us are successful in keeping our resolutions.
That’s millions of New Year’s Resolution drop-outs! And …. I am one of them.
So what happens? Why don’t resolutions work? We start out fully committed, resolute, and all-in. We pledge that this is the year we are going to be successful.
But something goes wrong between our pledge and our performance.
And right around late February, possibly early March, our New Year’s Resolution is nothing but an unspoken thing of the past. Some of the top reasons resolutions aren’t successful are that they are too big in scope, too vague in detail, or we just have too many of them.
I read a study on YouVersion Bible App called One Word That Will Change Your Life (derived from a book of the same name). And it delivered! It provided a game changing alternative to resolutions. You simply select one word that you want to focus on for the entire year.
Not a phrase, not a statement – one word.
When you begin to do the same old thing you used to, the thing you want to change, your One Word will step into the limelight. Reminding you of your commitment to do things differently.
So how do you get your word?
Start by thinking and praying about your One Word. It may take a while so don’t be discouraged. Last year I settled on my One Word after three weeks of prayer and wrestling! It will come to you. And then it will come to you all year long.
Your One Word can be anything. It might be an area you feel God is calling you to grow in. It might be a fruit of the spirit or a character trait you’d like to improve upon. It could even be an attribute you admire in Jesus or another follower.
Words are powerful. Proverbs 18:21a tells us they are “life and death” powerful. Our words can elevate or deflate others. Likewise, the words we speak to ourselves have power to impact our hearts and thus our actions.
Last year my One Word was PATIENCE. Something I’m typically in very short supply of!
Let me share what this past year and my first One Word experience taught me:
My triggers: I know exactly what triggers my impatience. Slow drivers, slow people, and slow processes. Prior to having my One Word, I thought impatience was just who I was. But the reality is my impatience shows up when my fast pace is slowed down by someone else.
Impatience with myself: This habit of impatience would also show up when I felt like I didn’t perform as well as I think I could or should have. I wasn’t tapping into the love and grace God wanted to extend to me when I needed it the most.
If there is no awareness, there is no change. God used my One Word to reveal I was selfishly imposing my speed and my agenda onto those around me. My impatience was keeping me from extending love and grace towards others when things outside my control slowed me down. He made me acutely aware I was moving way too fast.
Skills needed to undo impatience in my life: I learned to turn to God in my times of impatience. And isn’t that what He really wants … for us to turn to Him for everything? Had I not been focused on my One Word, I would have missed countless opportunities to commune with God. And countless opportunities to extend love and grace to others. And bonus … I learned that even during my times of perceived failures, He is not at all impatient with me.
Now, have I mastered this? Oh, heck no! But, I know my awareness and growth in this area will continue.
Your One Word has the ability to span across every area of your life. It can impact you spiritually, financially, emotionally, relationship wise and even physically. Assigning a One Word theme for the year can speak life and newness into our hearts and mind.
I crossed over this learning into my business life as well. I’ve used it with employees and other leaders who want to develop their skills. I know this works. I promise you, this is a game changer you can use on your journey and it won’t fizzle out by March!

Does the New Testament Claim to Be the Word of God?
Why the Bible Is So Special – Question 13
God’s revelation to humanity was not finished with the Old Testament. The New Testament also claims to be God’s Word to the human race. The evidence is as follows:
1. Jesus’ Words Were Given by God the Father
When Jesus prayed to God the Father on the night that He was betrayed, He said that His words were the words that God the Father had given Him. He said:
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. (John 17:8 TNIV)
Thus Jesus testified to the divine origin of His Words. The consistent theme in the ministry of Jesus was that His words were actually the words of God the Father. There is something else. These words were accepted as true by Jesus’ apostles. They believed that the words of Jesus were the words of God.
2. The Words of Jesus Were True
Jesus also affirmed that God’s Word is true in all that it says. As He was about to be betrayed, He prayed to God the Father:
Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth. (John 17:17 NET)
His words were always true.
3. Jesus’ Words Are Eternal
Jesus said His words were everlasting: He made the incredible claim that His words would never pass away. He said:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 KJV)
It is interesting to note that His claim has been literally fulfilled; His words are still with us to this day.
4. Jesus Said There Were More Authoritative Words to Come
Jesus stated plainly that more revelation was to come after He left this world. On the night of His betrayal, He said the following to His disciples:
I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. (John 16:12 TNIV)
From this statement we discover that Jesus would leave unfinished the revelation of God’s truth to humanity. This opened the door for God to reveal a “New” Testament to the world.
5. God’s Word Was Given Through Human Beings
As was true with the Old Testament, God’s Word was conveyed through human instrumentation, but not through human wisdom. Paul wrote:
And we speak of these things in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to those who are spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2:13 NRSV)
The New King James Version reads:
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2:13 NKJV)
God used humans to convey His words.
6. The Words of the New Testament Writers Are the Words of God
The New Testament, like the Old Testament, claims to record the words of God. In what was probably the earliest letter of the Apostle Paul to a church, he wrote the following:
We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word but as what it really is, God’s word, which is also at work in you believers. (1 Thessalonians 2:13 NRSV)
The words of Paul are equated with the words of God.
7. God’s Words Through the Writers Are Authoritative
The Word of God, as recorded in the New Testament, is presented as the final authority on all matters in which it speaks. Jesus said the following about His own words:
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63 NKJV)
Simon Peter acknowledged that only Jesus had the words of life. John records him saying the following:
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68 NKJV)
The words of Jesus carried ultimate authority.
8. God’s Words Are Expected to Be Obeyed
When certain people spoke the words of God, the Scripture tells us that the people were expected to obey their words. The words in which they spoke were ultimately God’s Words ? He was the source of what they said. Paul wrote:
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 14:37 NKJV)
Because they were God’s words, they carried His divine authority.
Conclusion: the New Testament Is God’s Word
Like the Old Testament, the New Testament claims to record the Word of God to humanity. This is the clear teaching of each of the two testaments; it is not something that the church later decided. This being the case, the claims made need to be taken seriously.
The Statement That the Bible Is God’s Word Needs to Be Clarified
There is a clarification that we need to make. When we say that the Bible is the Word of God, it does not mean that God spoke everything that is recorded in its pages. The Bible also contains the words of hundreds of different men and women. What the Bible claims for itself is that it is a true account of what these people actually said. Those people who were speaking for God had God’s authority behind their words.
However, some individuals, who did not speak for God, also had their words recorded. While their words are part of Holy Scripture, they do not have God’s divine authority behind them. Their words are not to be understood as infallible truth from God. The context makes it clear whether a person is speaking for God or whether that Scripture is merely recording the non-authoritative words of someone. It is crucial that we make this distinction.
Summary – Question 13
Does the New Testament Claim to Be the Word of God?
It is clear that the New Testament, by their direct statements, testify to its own divine origin and unique authority. The New Testament claims to be God’s revealed Word to humanity. It claims the following things: it is a record of God speaking, it is infallible, it was written to benefit future generations, it is eternal and unchanging, it is powerful, true, a guide for daily living, authoritative, and the Word of God. Thus, it is the assertion of Scripture itself that it is more than a mere human book?it is the very Word of God. These claims must be taken seriously.
However, not every word in the Bible was spoken from God. Scripture records the speech of hundreds of different people. Some of them spoke for God, and some of them said things that were contrary to the truth of God. The context must determine whether something in Scripture is a Word from God, or the mere words of humans.
