“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).
God Himself, through the mouth of Isaiah, spoke of God of the Bible, when he prophesied, saying, “Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other (Isaiah 45:22).
If anyone did not understand, God elaborated saying, “I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath” (Isaiah 45:23).
God is speaking of His Word, the Word we read in the Bible, that God has highly elevated His Word and given Him a name, “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:10).
The Almighty Father, the invisible Word, gave birth to the Scripture. God is a Spirit. What does that mean? God is Word. You cannot see Him. He is the invisible Word that gave birth to the visible Word we meet in the Holy Bible.
The Word we cannot see gave birth to the Word we can see and read. The Scripture He gave to us is His Son which is the Word we see. The Bible testifies of itself saying, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2).
When we read the Bible we are looking at the perfect Word of God, which is Christ the perfect Son of freedom. That’s why Jesus says, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
The Bible is that perfect truth and law of liberty, as James wrote saying: “He who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does” (James 1:25).
We gain knowledge of the only true God through the Scripture, which makes us free, as it is written: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). The Bible is the True—Consecrated—Word of God.
The God of the Bible is the Word. God has put all things under the authority of the Scripture, and made the Bible head over all things to the church, “which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:23).
God commanded all God’s people to support and to preach this truth, that the Word of God in the Holy Bible is the only true God. Jesus says, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
