“For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).
God gave His Word to the Israelites through Moses, but they did not know that the Holy Scripture was Christ. Therefore the Word of God became a human so that He would reveal the truth of the Bible to mankind.
That’s why Jesus says, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). Jesus came into the world to turn everyone’s heart to the Holy Scripture.
The Word of God was the Man Christ Jesus: “That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
It was the Word of God that became flesh and blood to reconcile us to the Word. Christ came to preach the Word to mankind, and to give the final and everlasting seal to the Holy Scripture, that the Bible is the Word of the invisible God.
God the Father gave birth to all Scripture. The invisible Word we cannot see gave birth to the Scripture we can see and read. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16).
The purpose why God gave us His Word is that we would receive the Scripture as the Son of God, as it is written: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit to preach the truth of the Bible. Which was why Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor” (Luke 4:18).
No one has seen God; it is through the Scripture alone we can see God. Jesus says, “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven” (John 3:13).
The Holy Scripture is that Son of Man that came from heaven, whom God gave birth to: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Christ the Word of God is the substance of our hope, the evidence of our God, and the author and finisher of our faith, as it is written: “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2).
The Bible Truth is that the Scripture is the Son of God. All Scripture is the revelation of God Himself. Therefore Jesus prayed saying, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (John 17:17). The Word of God is the true Son of God.
All Scripture is Jesus Christ. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “And His name is called The Word of God” (Revelation 19:13).
