“But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not be able to endure His indignation” (Jeremiah 10:10).
Scripture says “the Lord is the true God.” One may now question who is the Lord? The answer is found in Philippians 2:11, “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Jesus Christ is Lord, according to the Scripture, and He is the Word of God that became a human being, as it written: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).
God is invisible Word. Anyone who comes to the Scripture has come to that invisible Word that gave us the Bible. The Scripture is the express manifestation of the true God and the Word of God indeed.
When we read the Bible we are seeing the true God, which is why Jesus says, “And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me” (John 12:45). The Word is the brightness and the express image of the invisible God (see Hebrews 1:3).
John wrote, “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life” (1 John 5:20).
Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life. “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12).
The Scripture says anyone who believes in the Scripture has everlasting life. “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).
Whoever believes that the Scripture is the true Word of God, believes not just in the Scripture but in God who gave us the Bible. Whoever looks at the Scripture is looking, in fact, at God who sent the Word.
Jesus summed it all up when He says, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24).
Anyone who believes that the Word of God is Jesus Christ, whom God sent, has everlasting life. Jesus says, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3)
The God of the Bible is the true God, and the Scripture is the truth of God Himself. Therefore Jesus says, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (John 17:17).
The Word is Jesus Christ the Lord; He is the way to the true God, and no one can come to the true God except through the Bible, because all Scripture, and the Scripture alone, came from the true God.
