Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. If I give all that I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ, and the understanding of the message of the Bible That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life(and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us)."Concerning the Word of Life" 1 John 1:1"īible teaching and exposition, sermons and meditations, The more Christ the Son as the Word of God speaks, the more the Father is declared, expressed, defined, and explained! Christ came to us as the Word of life – and this is mysteriously conveyed and explained somehow by the apostle John in 1 John 1:1-7, and especially in the first two verses, Christ as the only begotten Son of the Father was, is, and always will be in the bosom of the Father – this dear only begotten Son of the Father is continually in the Father’s bosom to declare the Father! In Christ was life, and this life was the light of men (John 1:4).Ĭhrist as the Word of God conveys the eternal life and is the divine person of Christ as an account, a definition, and an expression of all that God is. No one has ever seen God the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him (John 1:18). Today we particularly enjoyed that Christ is the Word of life – God in Himself is life, but He is mysterious. This is the Central Line in the Divine Revelation – Christ is the center, the Body of Christ is the line, and the New Jerusalem is the goal! The Word of God is for the building up of the Body of Christ: we are regenerated, fed, transformed, nourished, and even glorified by the Word of God so that we may be useful materials for the building up of the Body of Christ! Also, the goal of the Word of God is to prepare and bring in the New Jerusalem, which is the goal of God’s eternal economy! In God’s economy Christ is the center, the Body is the line, and the New Jerusalem is the goal!Įverything in God’s economy is Christ, and Christ is the universal replacement for everything and everyone else in God’s eyes! So when we come to the word of God we see that Christ is the Word of God!Īnd the Word of God is for us to grow in life unto the building up of the Body! We don’t come to the Word of God apart from Christ, and we don’t come to the Word of God to gain anything or see anything else but Christ! But what is most interesting is that the Word of God is not “something in itself” – the main thing about the Bible is that Christ is the Word of God! This week we are enjoying one item from the central line of the Bible – the Word of God.
