Hebrews 4:12 – 13 For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

The Bible, the Word of God, is the book that conveys to us what is in the heart of God concerning us as his creatures. The Bible was written by men upon whom the Holy Spirit moved. That same Holy Spirit interacts with men and women today to empower us to do what God would have us do to further his Kingdom in the earth.

The very fact that the Bible was written by many over time and now reads as one book, loaded with truth and each part is united in content with the rest is evidence of its divine inspiration. Moreover John 1:1 – 2 tells us that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” In verse 14 of the same chapter we read that the Word took on human form: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us….” Why? God came to us in the person of Jesus Christ so that today when we read the Word of God, and believe in Jesus who died on the cross in our place, we get a glimpse of God’s glory and the magnitude of his love for us. We begin to understand that God rules and his Word, the Bible is not in competition with any other book.  The Holy Spirit enlightened me further:

            “The Word of God is irrefutable. He inspired it. He had it written so that men may know Him. He has not hidden the way to himself neither has he left it to mortals to work their way out of their dilemma. The Word is specific about the way of salvation that leads us back to God. Other books, by whatever names they are called, spring from the imaginings of mere mortals, beings I created but who set about to devise their own way to me by their works. These books will amount to nothing in the end because I alone am eternal and I determine what the end of man shall be depending on his response to the death of my Son. Thus says the Lord, the Almighty.”
