Most importantly, Jesus Christ is called the Logos ( John 1:1, 1:14), and the name вЂњWord of GodвЂќ ultimately belongs to Him ( Revelation 19:13). (See for instance Luke 11:28, Colossians 1:25, 1 st Thessalonians 2:13, Hebrews 4:12, and 1 st John 2:14). The Greek word logos, which has several meanings but is usually translated вЂњword,вЂќ also appears repeatedly in the phrase вЂњword of God.вЂќ The phrase word (logos) of God occurs many times throughout the New Testament, and refers in various contexts to GodвЂ™s commands, the gospel message, or the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit. In Romans 10:8, the apostle Paul uses the Greek word rhema to translate the Hebrew word dabar when he quotes Deuteronomy 30:14, and elsewhere he uses rhema in the phrase вЂњword of GodвЂќ ( Ephesians 6:17). In all of these contexts, the same Hebrew words are used: dabar (вЂњwordвЂќ or вЂњspeechвЂќ) and Yehovah (вЂњLORD,вЂќ or вЂњThe Existing OneвЂќ). In Deuteronomy 5:5, for example, Moses refers to the Ten Commandments as вЂњthe word of the LORD.вЂќ Psalm 33:6 tells us вЂњBy the word of the LORD the heavens were made.вЂќ Prophetic words and visions are also referred to as вЂњthe word of the LORDвЂќ ( 1 st Samuel 3:1, 3:7). Several different Hebrew and Greek expressions are translated into English as вЂњword of God,вЂќ вЂњword of the Lord,вЂќ and other similar phrases. In the Bible itself, however, the phrase word of God has a broader meaning. The writers of scripture were divinely inspired, and вЂњall Scripture is God-breathedвЂќ ( 2 nd Timothy 3:16), so it makes sense to refer to the Bible as GodвЂ™s word. We often use the title Word of God as an honorific name for the Holy Bible. Before examining the creation story in Genesis 1-2, let us meditate for a moment on what the scriptures say about the word of God.
