Christ is God¡¯s Living Word and the Scripture is God¡¯s Written Word
¡¡
Let's Pray:
Lord, we thank You for Your spoken word and also for Your written Word that constitutes the Bible. Hallelujah! On this earth there is the Bible! What a wonder and what a grace!
All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2 Tim. 3:17
That the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

This indicates that the Scripture, the word of God, is the (breathing) out of God. God's (speaking) is God's breathing out. Hence, His word is spirit , or (breath). Thus, the Scripture is the (embodiment) of God as the Spirit. The Spirit is therefore the very essence, the substance, of the Scripture, just as phosphorus is the essential substance in matches. We must strike the Spirit of the Scripture with our (spirit) to catch the divine (fire).
As the embodiment of God the Spirit, the Scripture (God's word) is also the embodiment of Christ. (Christ) is God's living Word , and the (Scripture) is God's written word. (See 2 Tim. 3:16 note 2)
