John 1:1, 14; 1 John 5:7; Ps. 138:2 [God’s name is intertwined with His Word. Disregard of God’s Word is equivalent to disregarding God’s name.]
“The Word” is one of the most profound titles of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A word is composed of letters. Jesus Christ is the “Alpha and Omega.” He is God’s alphabet.
The main difference between the God of the Bible and false gods is our God speaks, whereas the gods of the world are mute.
● If God never spoke there would be no creation.
● If God never spoke there would be no commandments.
● If God never spoke there would be no incarnate Christ.
