Just What is this, "Word of God"?
Well, in the Bible, the Psalmists and writers with inspired wisdom tells us; that it flows from the exile and beyond to reach a climax with God's perfect revelation of the coming of Jesus of Nazareth, whose life, death and resurrection are foretold in the 4 Gospels of the New Testament Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John). The New Testament unequivocally affirm that God was uniquely involved in the stream of biblical history to manifest his presence, (make known) his power, and his purpose in the world. And to achieve human salvation. For this reason, and due to this evidence; from the inspired psalmists and writers of wisdom. Ostensibly, bare witness of the writings and the evidence of signs, wonders, healing and miracles performs by Jesus during the first coming, as God's affirmation and self-revelation. This can be genuinely called the "word of God".
Proverbs 3:5, informs us: {paraphrasing} Trust in God with all our heart, mind and soul, and lean not to your own understanding...meaning, never tire of loyalty and kindness; hold these virtues tightly; write them deep within your heart. If you desire favor with God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then you must trust the Lord completely. In all that you do; put God first. He shall order your steps and direct your path and crown your efforts with success. God Bless you
