Most people know Him as Jesus. But in Heaven, He’s called the Word of God. Revelation 19:13-16
That's powerful. The Book of Revelation in the Bible, says His robe is dipped in blood, and His name is the Word of God. So when you invite and allow the Word get in you for salvation, it starts transforming your mind (Philippians 2:5, Romans 12:2). You start talking differently. Thinking differently. Walking in authority. Because it’s not you… it’s the Word in you... the Word has power, regardless of your weakness. That Bible you’re holding? That’s not just a book you're reading. That’s JESUS and he is speaking to your heart through the Holy Spirit, wanting you to invite Jesus into your heart and life, as Savior.
God's Word is alive with His Spirit, and when His Spirit touches yours, you cannot help but be transformed by the power of his Holy Spirit and given a brand new life in Christ...your sins behind you, forgiven, and forgotten by God. There's no one in the universe that can give you a brand new start, like Jesus. Just as if you had never sinned. There is no substitute for Jesus.
The Ultimate Authority This "Word of God" description, emphasizes Jesus' divine nature and His role as the ultimate authority and revelation of God. It connects to the Gospel of John, where Jesus is described as the Word made flesh:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" is the opening verse of the Gospel of John chapter 1, verse 1. It introduces Jesus Christ, who is called the Word, being eternally existent with God and possessing divine nature.
The Power of the Word As the Word of God, Jesus embodies the power and truth of God's message. Born-again believers are encouraged to immerse themselves in Scripture, recognizing its transformative power.
Victory Through Sacrifice The blood-dipped robe recalls Christ's victory through his sacrifice on the cross for the atonement of our sins. Born-again believers are reminded that Christ's sacrifice is the foundation of our salvation.
Hope in Christ's Return Revelation 19:13 offers hope in the promise of Christ's return and ultimate victory over evil. Believers are encouraged to live in anticipation of this future reality.
Here's a breakdown of the key elements:
"In the beginning": This phrase emphasizes a time before creation, indicating the Word's eternal existence.
"was the Word": The Greek word translated as "Word" is "Logos,"...in the beginning, was divine reason, plan, and expression.
"and the Word was with God": This emphasizes the Word's unity and co-existence with God.
"and the Word was God": This is a strong explanation of the Word's divine nature, affirming that the Word is not a lesser deity, but fully God.
