What Is The Word Of God? Part 1

 

Introduction

What is the word of God? God's word is the answer to every question and solution to every challenge. Surely, as nothing is too hard for God, so also, nothing is too hard for God's word to handle. For indeed, it's the word of God put in writing. Furthermore, nothing is hidden from it; it can reach out to anything no matter where that thing may be.

 

For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give an account - Hebrews 4:12-13 AMP

 

You can't separate God from His word, for He is one with His word. This is the same with man where you can't separate a man from His word. So, you can't have God and not have His word. And you can't love God and not love His word.

 

The mandate

Truly, the word of the Lord is the essence of our living because we're living out God's words. This is so because when the Lord made man, He blessed and charged him with what to do on earth. And since then, man has lived to carry out this mandate as given in Genesis 1:28. Read more...
