“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).
Jesus Christ is the Great God and our Saviour. God has given all authority to Jesus Christ to save us, and Jesus claimed it when He said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18).
The one thing we need to receive and be saved is Christ the Word of God. That is why the Bible says, “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).
When anyone believes that the Scripture is the true Word of God they become members of God’s family. It is through faith in the Word of God we have access by one Spirit to the Father (see Ephesians 2:18).
That’s why Jesus says, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Born again of what? We become born again through the Word of God which lives and abides forever (see 1 Peter 1:23).
God the Father made His Word; the Word He gave us in the Bible, the Great God and our Saviour. The apostle Paul wrote that God has highly exalted His Word and gave Him the name of Jesus Christ (see Philippians 2:9-11).
The Lord Jesus said to Pilate: “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here” (John 18:36).
Jesus is saying that He is a King. What sort of King? He is the spiritual King that lives and abides forever. The Word of God is the King over God’s Kingdom, which is that “King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God” (1 Timothy 1:17).
God’s ultimate plan is to rule over all mankind through His Word at the glorious revelation of Jesus Christ. All the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever (see Revelation 11:15).
The Father ordained the Scripture to be the everlasting head over all nations, including the church. The Word of God is the first-born Son which was raised from death, and He alone has the first position in all things (see Colossians 1:18).
Scripture is the express image of the invisible God, which is Jesus Christ our Saviour. If you confess with your mouth the Word of God is Jesus Christ, “and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
The Great God and our Saviour is the Word of God, the Word we read in the Bible. The Holy Scripture is the Lord our Saviour, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. “And His name is called The Word of God” (Revelation 19:13).
