When we say, “God’s Word,” we mean the Bible.  We hold it extremely precious and believe in it completely.  Yes, that same Bible you buy in your local bookstore or off the internet is actually God’s Word, His personal message to us.  It is His heart, His Spirit, His intent, His plan, and yes, His warning, and it expresses His desire and His hope that we will grow to love Him enough that we will place Him first in our lives above everything else, even our love for our families and for ourselves.  It is His Word that gives us all the information we need to serve Him and allow Him to better us through His system of development:  trials, tests, and tribulations.  It is a tough system, but His Word lays it all out for us like a roadmap through our lives.

And there’s something else … Jesus was not only the physical embodiment of God while He was on the earth, but He was also the physical embodiment of God’s Word.  This is difficult to understand, but it is true.  This is why belief in Jesus as the Son of God opens the meaning of God’s Word to us and increases our understanding of it.  But it takes time.  In fact, it takes a whole lifetime.  Why not get started as soon as possible?
