The Word of God

 

Word of God, On 10th  August, 2024

The Word is near to us, let us embrace it 

Rm 10: 8-10 What does it say, then? The word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, the faith which we preach, that if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. It is by believing with the heart that you are justified, and by making the declaration with your lips that you are saved.

The Lord has given us His Word, the Word of God, which is Jesus Himself, who has been with God since the beginning. How beautifully St John wrote the first word about Jesus. Jn 1: 1-3 In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him. Everything on Earth came into being through Jesus, and nothing exists without him. This is our faith: He was born in flesh by the Virgin Mary. He is God Incarnate, a true God and a true man, having assumed both Divine and Human natures. This is what we must say with our mouth: Jesus is the Son of God. He died for our sins; he was sinless but carried all of our sins on his shoulders to bring us salvation. We have to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This truth must be communicated to the multitude with our hearts and mouths, and only then will we be redeemed for all eternity.
