“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, “says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8).
When Jesus says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End” He’s saying I am the beginning and the end of the actions of God, the start and the finish of our faith (see Hebrews 12:2).
John wrote, “In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1). Notice his use of the word ‘was’: saying to us that the Word which we now have as Scripture was in the beginning.
The mystery of the Holy Bible was hidden in the past. Paul wrote, “Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets” (Ephesians 3:5).
Today, God is speaking to us through the Bible. John wrote, “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts” (Revelation 21:6).
Scripture is that fountain of living waters (see Jeremiah 2:13) that came through the prophets, which is the Word of God (see Jeremiah 30:1-2). All the holy prophets and apostles spoke as they were inspired by the Spirit of the Scripture (see 2 Peter 1:21).
It is the Holy Scripture that came to Abraham, as it is written: “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed” (Galatians 3:8).
Before God destroyed the world in the days of Noah He gave the Scripture to Noah. “And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth” (Genesis 6:13).
Also, before the Lord destroyed Sodom He gave the Scripture to Abraham. “And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing” (Genesis 18:17).
The Lord would only do what He has foretold in Scripture through His servants the holy prophets and apostles. Amos wrote, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).
Faith in the Scripture alone is salvation. True faith in the Word of God is the only way to please God. Anyone who comes to the Bible must believe that the Scripture is the Word of God that must be fulfilled (see Hebrews 11:6).
God promised new life to those who believe in the Scripture. “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:14).
The Scripture is the blueprint and the beginning of God’s creation (see Revelation 3:14), the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Scripture is the Christ who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty Word of God.
