Word Of God
The term "Word of God" in the Bible encompasses several meanings, reflecting the multifaceted nature of divine communication. Primarily, it refers to the Scriptures themselves, wherein God reveals His will, character, and purposes to humanity. For instance, in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul emphasizes that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness," indicating that the Bible serves as a foundational guide for faith and conduct.Additionally, the "Word of God" is also personified in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. In John 1:1, it is stated, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Here, "the Word" (Logos in Greek) signifies not only the spoken or written word but also the living embodiment of God's revelation in Jesus. This dual understanding highlights both the authoritative text of Scripture and the incarnate presence of God through Christ, underscoring the significance of divine communication in both written and personal forms.
