THE RHEMA WORD OF GOD FULL
“In the beginning was the word, and the Logos-Word was with God, and the Logos-Word WAS God… And the Logos-Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:1, 14. Thus, Jesus is “the expressed essence” of the Father, the very image of the invisible God. Logos just means “the expressed essence” of something. The Greek word “Logos” in different contexts can be certainly used in other ways, but “THE” Logos “of God” always refers to the Spirit of Christ. (also Luke 4:4).īy contrast, when the New Testament refers to “THE (definite article) Word of God,” it uses the Greek word “Logos,” and always and only refers to Jesus’ divine presence. “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhemati) that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4. “The Rhema-Word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the Rhema-Word of faith, which we preach.” Romans 10:8. It represents a divine devotional truth “quickened by” God and then “expressed through” the heart and mouth of man. Now, when the New Testament uses the term “Rhema-Word,” it refers to divinely inspired insights. “You study the Scriptures (Graphe) thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me.” John 5:39. When the New Testament refers to the Bible as a whole, it uses the word “Scriptures,” which is the Greek word “Graphe.” Jesus continually referred to the entirety of the Old Testament Bible as “the Scriptures.” This included the Law, the Prophets, and the wisdom Writings, all of which formed the Bible as it then existed in Jesus’ day. This study will help distinguish the various uses in the Bible of these three crucial terms. This confusion often ends up causing many to slip into Bibliolatry, the wrongful worship of the Bible. There is much confusion and commingling of three vital, but very distinct, New Testament terms.
