For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4: 12)
The Holy Bible is the Word of the Lord from the mind of Almighty God, Creator of the heavens, Creator of life upon the earth, including humans. And God communicates with people in a simple system called words and in a simple system called language.
If we examine the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, we see God speaking to Adam and Eve in words and in a language that they understood, and therefore they knew the voice of Almighty God.
But also in the Garden of Eden, the serpent, or Satan, spoke to Adam and Eve in words and in a language they understood, for Satan also knows the language of God. And Satan proposed a question to Adam and Eve by saying, Hath God said? This simple question injected words of doubt in the minds of Adam and Eve, whereas before they had no doubt in the words of God. This question by Satan was to distract and to divert the minds of Adam and Eve from concentrating in the words of God and to thinking about something else, in a way that they had not considered.
Human behavior has not changed since the time of the Garden of Eden, for do we not react to the Word of the Lord in the same way today? Do we not say Hath God said? Do we not say, Really? Did God really say that? Do you really believe the Bible is the Word of the Lord? So then, the words of doubt that Satan spoke to Adam and Eve are the same words of doubt that the devil speaks to our minds even today: Hath God said?
For this reason, we seek truth in a multitude of places upon the earth. We reject the Word of the Lord and choose, instead, to seek the words of great thinkers, such as philosophers and scientists, poets, and priests of religions: whose heads are filled with the words of men and not with the Word of the Lord. We search for words that look good to our eyes and sound good to our ears. We look for something that is easy to believe, or for something in this world that is easier to believe than to simply believe in the Word of the Lord. Do we not seek the words of people rather than seek the Word of the Lord?
But if people will not believe the Word of the Lord for truth, neither will they believe in my words, nor the words of any other speaker or writer about God. For it is not my words, nor the words of any other speaker or writer, that are as important as the Word of God. For it is not my desire that people will believe in my words as a blogger for Christ, but rather my desire is that people will believe in the Holy Bible, which is the Word of the Lord. For it is my desire to point people to Christ instead of pointing people to me. For if people believe in my words, instead of the Word of the Lord, then I could easily believe that I have become a god, and that my words are more important than the Word of the Lord.
On the day when Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate said unto Jesus: What is truth? People stood eyeball to eyeball with the Son of God, and he saw Him face to face. Yet Pilate rejected the Lord as his Savior by saying, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
In like manner, would you believe in Christ if you stood face to face with the Lord as Pilate did?
The Holy Bible, which is the Word of the Lord, is all about Christ, and Christ is the Word of the Lord. To believe in Christ, therefore, is to believe in the Word of the Lord; and to believe in the Word of the Lord is to believe in Christ: for Christ, and the Word of the Lord, are one, and they fit together as two hands in one glove. And Christ and the Word of the Lord must be believed by faith, and not by sight, nor by sounds.
The Holy Bible is the most important book we have on the face of the earth, the greatest book ever written about the greatest story ever told.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10: 17)
