The Word is a lamp – Part 4

“Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.” Peter Kreeft. God’s Word exposes us to the Divine Nature Attitude of God. To know God is first to know His Word. The Word of God is a transformer! It is my light!! It is my salvation!!!

The Bible’s description of the Word of God is thus:

• God’s Word is eternal –
  • “Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.” Read Psalm 119:89 (NIV). Listen to this, God’s promises concerning you is eternal, long-lasting and forever settled.

  • “Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.” Read John 17:17 (AMPC).
