What Does the Bible Say About the Word of God?
The Bible is full of verses that talk about the importance of God's Word. Here are a few of the most well-known:
- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
- "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
- "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
These verses teach us that God's Word is:
- Eternal: It has always existed and will always exist.
- Powerful: It is able to change our lives and make us more like Christ.
- Authoritative: It is the final authority on all matters of faith and practice.

There are many ways that we can apply these scriptures to our lives. Here are a few ideas:
- Read the Bible regularly. The more we read the Bible, the more we will learn about God and His ways.
