“The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (Psalm 46:7).
The greatest discovery on earth is the amazing discovery of Jesus Christ, that God so much loved mankind He became a human. God was made flesh to reveal Himself to us, and that “He is not far from each one of us” (Acts 17:27).
Paul wrote, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory” (1 Timothy 3:16).
The Word of God became a human to demonstrate God’s love toward mankind. “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9).
God of the Holy Scripture is the true God, which is Jesus Christ who became a human. Jesus Christ was “declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4).
By His resurrection from the dead Jesus Christ swallowed up death. The true God was “revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (2 Timothy 1:10).
The Word of God became a human to die and rise again so that we may know Him, the only true God that is among us. And God gave “assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:31).
Jesus Christ died and rose again from the dead to prove that He is that Almighty God. There is no power in the universe that can stop Him. Jesus says, “I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again” (John 10:18).
God’s Word can do anything He wants; whenever He wants. The Lord Jesus is the true God. All other gods are forgeries of the devil: “But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King” (Jeremiah 10:10).
When we see the Word of God as the true God we would realize that God is indeed with us, and that God is the Holy Scripture which abides forever. “Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you” (1 Peter 1:25).
Scripture is that true God who is in our midst when we gather together in church meetings. That’s why Jesus says, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).
The Word of God is the living God that is with us, which shines in our hearts to give us the knowledge of the true God. The psalmist wrote, “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130).
God’s desire is to have fellowship with mankind through His Word. Jesus says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23).
The Holy Scripture is the only begotten Son of God, which is that true God among us. Whoever looks into the Scripture is looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (see Hebrews 12:2).
