God's Word Is the Living Word (5 of 6)
THE WORD FROM THE LORD
Dr. Stan Coffey
1 John 5:6
We looked at Jeremiah 37:17 where Jeremiah was asked by King Zedekiah this question: Is there any word from the Lord? That's what the modern age is asking today. What does the church have to say? What do Christians have to say? What do believers have to share to the answers to the problems that we face? Is there any word from the Lord? I want to say there is a word from the Lord, and it is the living Word, the incarnate Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no difference between the written Word and the living Word: they are one. The written Word reveals the living Word. The written Word is God's revelation of Himself to mankind; the living Word, Jesus Christ, is God's revelation of Himself to mankind. The Bible is called the Word of God; Jesus is called the Word of God. John 1 tells us, "The word was made flesh and dwelt among us." We witnessed the Word; we beheld His glory full of grace and truth.
"This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:6-12)
