The Creative Word of God

“And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.”
God honors the human language by calling Jesus the Word and therefore Jesus and the Word are one. The whole Universe was brought into being by words (Genesis 1). The Word of God, a spirit, creates material things, proving that the spirit is greater than the material. John 1:14 AMP “And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us.” You see, we have the Spoken Word in the lips of Jesus, then we have the Word made flesh dwelling in our midst, then we have the spoken Word in the lips of the apostle before the Pauline Revelation came.
While Paul was in Thessalonica it was the spoken Word but his Epistles are the Written Word, the Life-Giving Word – 1 Thessalonians 2:13 ESV “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the Word of men but as what it really is, the Word of God, which is at work in you believers.”
Psalm 107:20 AMP “He sends forth His word and heals them.” And that Word was manifested in the flesh, as the spoken Word through the lips of Jesus, as the spoken Word through the Apostles was finally written in the language of men so that we might have a permanent record of His living Word.
