“The life of Christ that gives life to the world is in His word. It was by His word that Jesus healed disease and cast out demons; by His word He stilled the sea, and raised the dead; and the people bore witness that His word was with power… When His visible presence should be withdrawn, the word must be their source of power. Like their Master, they were to live “by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Matt. 4:4 – The Desire of Ages, p. 390 .
