THE WORD OF GOD

Early on in the time of the Acts of the Apostles, preaching the Word became synonymous with preaching Christ.

It was as witnesses of His resurrection and ascension to the throne of His Father that they spoke. He had commissioned them to make disciples, teaching all He had commanded. His last conversations were about the affairs of the Kingdom. After releasing them from prison, the angel instructed them to tell of a new order of living in Jesus.

All of this was taken up into the phrase, the Word of God. The Word of God is not the Bible. It is Jesus, the King and Saviour of the world, God's anointed Messiah Son, the only true Word of God. Without Him it is not the Word of God.
