The Word Spoken By the Lord
(Ex25:20-22; He1:1-4)
God is the God of truth (Ps31:5).
He gives birth to children through the word of truth (Jas1:18) and
Those who live according to the word of truth
He brings to the freedom of the glory of the children of God (Rm8:21).
Faith is believing Him and longing for Him and
The life of this faith is living according to the word of truth and being free.
For the human society is a language society
Depending on whose word one listens to
One can become a man, an animal or a child of God or a slave of the devil.
The Bible is the book of the word spoken by
The One who was the Word in the beginning (Jn1:1), who
Spoke many times in various ways (He1:1-2) and in the last days became flesh (Jn1:14).
While all things are the result of the work done by His word (He1:3),
By the same word they are reserved for fire (2Pe3:7) to which
All men became bound, that is, hell (Mt25:41) because
Their ancestor Adam listened to the word of the devil rather than the word of God (Ge2:17, 3:4-6).
Nonetheless, the exodus of Israel was decided by the word of the LORD
Spoken through the word of Moses (Ex3:13-14, 4:10-12).
While the Law was the word of the LORD who spoke out of the fire on Mount Horeb (Dt4:10-15),
The Ten Commandments were written on the two stone tablets by the angels (Ac7:53),
Delivered by the angels (Ac7:35).
The tablets were kept inside the ark of testimony of the Most Holy Place
In the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary was
The ark of the testimony and above it was the atonement cover and
It was from there between the two cherubim God spoke to the Israelites (Ex25:20-22), that is,
The message spoken through the angels (He2:2).
To those who were weary and burdened by the Law and the Pharisaic Law where
Breaking even one point would be guilty of breaking all (Jas2:10),
Yeshua said, "my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Mt11:28-30) for
When the temple is destroyed He would raise it back in three days,
Referring to the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-20).
He would do this not in the name Jehovah through the message spoken by angels
But in the name Yeshua spoken through the Son (Mt17:5),
The word heard from the Father, the truth (Jn8:40, 17:17).
Those who know the truth would be set free (Jn8:32) and
In the last day the words that He spoke will judge (Jn12:48) and that
His words will never pass away (Mt24:35).
As He died, Yeshua said, "It is finished" (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Demonstrated that the Father's word is truth (Jn10:18, 17:17);
2) Judged the father of lies the devil (Ge3:4-6; Jn8:44; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Through His redemption delivered all men from their slavery under the devil (He2:14-15).
He resurrected and ascended to heaven and
Became the eternally freed.
The Spirit of truth who comes out from the Father (Jn15:26-27)
Reminds the believers the word of Yeshua and lets them testify (M28:19-20; Jn16:13).
The gospel is:
The coming of the Son of God in the flesh (Mt4:17);
The work that the Son of God Himself did in the flesh (1Pe2:24); and
Justified by faith in Jesus Christ for
The believer is delivered from
The law of condemnation, from the price of sin, from the slavery under the devil (Rm8:1-2).
The truth, on the other hand, is Yeshua Himself, the word of Yeshua (Jn8:40, 14:6).
He who truly knows the truth is
Not someone who believes the gospel and is set free to live a life of debauchery (Rm13:13).
But rather, he comes under Christ's law (1Co9:21) and
Freely keeps the law of liberty (Jas1:25, 2:12).
Therefore, he willingly gathers, prays, obeys, and preaches
For him who loves the Lord, His commandments are not burdensome (1Jn5:3).
O Lord,
Let us all know the truth.
If we heard the gospel and have been delivered,
Let us now know the truth so it brings us to freedom.
Whether we are in body or out of body
Let us break off all that binds us.
Let us become truly freed that nothing can stop us! Amen.
