People talk a good talk when it comes to the scriptures, and the living word of GOD, but NOT many Christians even know the scriptures or possess the revelation knowledge of GOD’S word, to even understand the scriptures.
Let alone, they fail to even know, that there is a difference between the two of them.
“The word of GOD!”
(John 1:1-5) In the beginning was the Word/JESUS, and the Word/JESUS was with God, and the Word/JESUS was GOD. The same JESUS was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by JESUS; and without JESUS was not any thing made that was made. In JESUS was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(Revelation 19:11-13) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of GOD.
(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(John 6:63) JESUS SAYS, It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
“The scriptures!”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17) All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of GOD may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
“The scriptures, and the word of GOD, JESUS explains the difference between then both!”
(John 5:38-47) JESUS SAYS, Search the SCRIPTURES; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are the same SCRIPTURES which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life. I do not receive honour from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of GOD in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me: but if another man shall come in his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe them, which receive honour one of another, and you do not seek the honour that comes from GOD only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust. For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for Moses wrote of me. But if you do not believe Moses writings about me, then how shall you believe my words?
(Matthew 22:29) JESUS SAYS, You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of GOD.
So how can you ever be the Berean church, when you lack the revelation knowledge of GOD’S word in CHRIST JESUS.
For you cannot test the spirit by the spirit of GOD’S word, if you dont know the WORD/JESUS.
(John 6:63) JESUS SAYS, It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
(Luke 24:27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, JESUS expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
(Luke 24:45) Then JESUS opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
