Jn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
That is a great way to start telling someone about the Christ. He is the Word of God. That is His name.
Rev 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Through Him all things were created, including this planet we are on and the heavens.
Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
He was giving all things by His Father and was made ruler, even King, other all things according to His Father's wishes and great plan.
Ps 2:6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
Jn 16:15 “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
And that of course includes the very words of God. They are in the possession of the Son. And His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, takes the words of God which belong to Him, the Christ, whose name is called The Word of God, because He has the words of God, and brings His words to our spirit!
And so a command has gone out from the Father to listen to Him.
Mat 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!”
And it has also been read as, "Hear, O Israel."
Deut 6: 4-7 “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!
“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.
“You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Yet His people, even those called by His name, would not listen. They said "Let not God speak to us".
Ex 20:19 Then they said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, or we will die.”
They would not keep the command and so they did not come to love the Lord their God with all their heart, because they did not seek Him and His voice. Thus they also did not diligently teach their sons to seek the Lord their God and His voice. Therefore a Law was handed down thru Moses, but they could not keep it either. To keep that Law they would need to seek His voice for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
It was all explained and written down, but still they would not listen so it was explained in harsher terms.
Is 1:2 Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth; For the LORD speaks,
“Sons I have reared and brought up, But they have revolted against Me.
He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen
So the word of the LORD to them will be,
“Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.
So because they would not listen the orderly lines in the Bible that they read alittle here and there become "The Word of God" to them; and that so they may go stumble backwards, be broken, snared and taken captive by the enemy.
Still, they would not listen. So the message got harsher.
Mal 2: 1-3 “And now this commandment is for you, O priests.
“If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the LORD of hosts, “then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.
“Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
And the world saw it, because the message to hear was to anyone! Did He not make everyone. But who will listen to their maker? Who will listen to the KING OF KINGS?
Rev 3:20 ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
Will they even care to believe in Him? Will they care enough to even want to get to know Him, personally? If they do then God's Salvation (Jesus), even the Word of God will come to them and will reason with them! The Father, His Father, even gave Him to us, if we would just believe.
Jn 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
He even sent His Son to take on flesh and talk to men in person on earth, but we killed Him on earth, just like we have always killed the Word of God in the heavenlies by not listening to Him. And we also hurt Him, because He wants so much that we should hear Him and hates it so much when we do things without first seeking Him.
Ps 81:13 “Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
Yet this is a Christian forum, so who have I been writing to? We are people, just like the Jews. And we are those grafted into Him, but are we different?
Who will hear The Word of God? Or will those writing be all the words of God we know about. If you listen you have heard Him! If you hear Him then you know things He told you! He once told me:
I MADE THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOUNTAIN IS GOOD, BUT WOE TO THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE MOUNTAIN. WOE TO THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE CREATED AND NOT THE CREATOR.
I AM THE WORD OF GOD! THAT IS WHAT THEY CALL ME. FOR WHAT PROPHET EVER SAID ‘THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME SAYING’ AND DIDN’T MEAN THAT I CAME CLOSE? SHOULD I SHARE MY NAME WITH MY CREATION?
So let me ask, when you say "THE WORD OF GOD" do you mean Him who talks to you? Do you know God's salvation, Jesus, the Christ or not?
That is a great way to start telling someone about the Christ. He is the Word of God. That is His name.
