Why is the Bible Called the Word of God?

word of God, Bible, holy bible, scripture

Perhaps you have seen someone carrying a Bible and referring to it as something other than the Bible. In fact, if you look at the Greek roots, Bible simply means books. Sixty-six of them to make a complete collection. More meaningfully, I’ve heard the Bible called the Good Book, the Holy Bible or Holy Scriptures, or the Word of God.

With these many different names, do we fully understand why they are used? Why is this book called the Word of God actually? And if it is the Word of God, how did it get from Him to households all over the word as the best-selling book of all time?

The Cost of Following God’s Truth

Have you ever considered, or has it ever felt like there was a cost for following God’s truth? That you would have to suffer something difficult or pay a price for your faith? What would that cost look like in our daily lives? And more importantly, would we be willing to pay it?

It’s easy to say yes. But when we examine those who followed the truth throughout the Bible, we can see that the price they paid was high. And what is this Truth we are referring to? John 17:17 tells us that God’s Word is truth. God’s Word, the Bible, the way we get to know God and the way we can learn about salvation. Those who followed God’s Words throughout history faced unnaturally harsh persecution and hardships. Why? Because in a world full of lies, they pursued God’s truth.

It Is Finished: What Jesus Actually Completed

Angry shouts filling the air, curses, beatings, humiliation, pain. And then, the final words from Jesus, “It is finished”. The event of Jesus bearing the cross is a familiar one for most Christians. But how much time do we spend truly reflecting on this moment? Recently, I was reading through the book of Matthew again and came across the account of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Churches and media everywhere commonly refer to this event on Easter or in movies. But take a moment to really put yourself into that moment. Picture what it would’ve been like to be there.

Have You Heard God’s Voice Lately?

I always had many different ideas and questions about God. I would often wonder what it would be like if God spoke to me. Or, if I had a chance to meet with God, what would I want to ask? However, as I pondered more about these things, I began to seriously wonder how God communicates with us today. There are many people around the world who claim to receive visions from God or hear God’s voice through dreams. But I didn’t want to believe anything until it could be verified as true. So, I turned to the Bible for help.
