The Word of God

The Word of God is the only source of meaning and purpose for life.  Only God’s Word answers the “who, what, where, when, and why –of life.”

The Word of God, the living Son, was with God, the Father, and the Spirit Holy, in a perfect relationship of Persons –the Triunity, in eternity past, before creation.

The Word created all that there is by speaking it into being (existence) at the beginning of space/time history.  Mankind, as in the first male and female, Adam and Eve –they were created fully formed and mature, in the image and likeness of God, meaning supremely, that the Word created us as persons, that we might enjoy life on the same level of personhood (quality of being), even as the Creator, that we might relate to God even asto one another, in the relationship of persons:  God-Persons, human-persons.

The Word became flesh in space/time history.

The written word of God, the original writings, is the inspired inerrant record of the Triunity’s self-disclosure, the self-revelation of God; and the truth of life.  The written word in our possession is essentially inerrant, in that it is a faithful enough transmission, by God’s design, for His intents and purposes, of the original sources.

The Protestant Bible is the word of God, written.

The first and most important message of God’s Word, living and written, is the story of the love of the Father for his Son and the Son’s love of his Father:  everything in creation revolves around that love relationship.

Second to that, in reality flowing (derivative) from it, is the message of grace to the elect in Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Triunity, the Word become flesh.

Jesus died for his people, that they might come unto him and receive redemption, regeneration, and eventually, resurrection unto life immortal and eternal with Him.

Above anything and all else these truths are among the most central and primary in the life of true believers.
