STUDY VII. THE WORD OF GOD

 

JESUS AS THE WORD OF GOD 

He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. Rev 19:13

Jesus Christ is known as the word of God. He says that the scriptures testify of Him. John 5:39

The whole bible, has only one subject. It talks about Jesus Christ. We must therefore study it knowing that is to help us see Jesus.

After His resurrection, Jesus exposed to His disciples from Genesis to Malachi things concerning Himself. Luke 24:27

We are supposed to See Jesus in the bible, not a doctrine but the person of Christ. The disciples exclamed; "We desire to see Jesus" John 12:21

We must have a desire in our hearts to see Jesus in the scriptures not a doctrine. 

The secret of living a godly, holy, pure life is in see the person of Jesus who lived as a man, who kept His spirit pure. 1Tim 3:16.

God is called the God of all encouragement. 2Cor 1:3.

Heb 12:2-3 tells us that the reason we get discouraged in our Christian race is because our eyes don't see Jesus, but when our eyes are fixed on the person of Jesus, we will never get discouraged or give up.

Thus we can see that the way God is always encouraging us is by opening our eyes to see Jesus. The more of Christ we see, the more encouraged we become, and the more we become a source of encouragement to others.

James that when we look at the perfect law of liberty. James 1:25

The law , or God word is meant to set us free not bring us into bondage. It's the perfect law that sets us free.

Does the word of God set you free or does it make you feel bound by rules and regulations?

2Cor 3:17-18.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

James 1:23

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

We see that the word of is also seen as a mirror. Now, The Holy Spirit is the Spirit that gives freedom. The freedom comes as we see the glory of Jesus in the scriptures.

As the Holy Spirit shows us the nature of Christ, He consequently transforms us into the same image from one degree of glory to another.

This is the secret of living a holy life. The secret of living a godly life is seeing the glory of Christ; but this we are shown by the Holy Spirit.

We must therefore constantly seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit so that He can show us the glory of Christ in the scriptures. Otherwise, without the Holy Spirit we will see a doctrine or verses and your life will not get transformed. 

If your life is to transformed, we must see Jesus in the bible.

As you study God's word, seek to God to fill your heart with the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to open your inner eyes that you may see Jesus.

Let your constant cry be, "Lord, I want to see you. I want to see your glory."

You are blessed to be a blessing
