CHRIST: THE WORD OF GOD

   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.  (John 1: 1-3)


   The Bible is the Word of the Lord, and the Word is Jesus Christ the Lord.  These two are one and they are inseparable. 
   Therefore, as people read the Bible, they are reading the Lord. 
   If people will accept the Lord, they will also accept the Bible:  for these two are one and they are inseparable.
   But if people reject the Bible, they will also reject Christ, who is the Word; and if people reject Christ, they will also reject the Bible:  for there can not be one without the other.
   When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, that was the day when God became a human body:
       And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  (John 1: 14)
      and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  (Isaiah 9: 6)
      Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  (Matthew 1: 23)
   When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, that was the day when the Creator of the universe came to earth and walked among men, women, and children, for Jesus said:
      Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:  but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.  Believe me that I am in the Father:  or else believe me for the very works' sake.  (John 14: 10-11)
      If a man love me, he will keep my words:  and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  (John 14: 23)
   God is holy, Christ is holy, and the words of the Bible are holy words.
   Obviously, to know God is to know Christ, for these two are one.  And to know Christ is to know the Word, for Christ is the Word, and the Word is the Bible:  for these two are one.
   God, Christ, and Bible:  these three are one and they are inseparable. 
   So then,
      Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, not sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; he leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  (Psalm 1: 1-3)
      And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.  (John 21: 25)
