The Red Words Introduction
John
1:1(NKJV)
In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the
Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Recently, I came across this scripture:
John 8:31 (NKJV)
31 Then Jesus said
to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples
indeed.
I pondered the scripture for awhile, I wandered if the “My Word” meant
his actual words, or if he was talking about the whole bible and all the
scriptures as a whole. Then I remembered that when He was referring to the scriptures, He
would actually address them as “the scripture.”
Luke
24:44
[ The Scriptures
Opened ] Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while
I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in
the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”
2 Peter 1:19-21
19 And so we have
the prophetic word confirmed,[a] which you do well to heed as a light that
shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your
hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private
interpretation,[b] 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men
of God[c] spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
This does not by any means take the any authority away from the scriptures.
I believe in them, I study them, and I live by them. I believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God. With that being said, I believe
that Jesus was actually talking about His Words in this scripture.
John
8:31 (NKJV)
31 Then Jesus said
to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My
disciples indeed.
“My” is the word “emos”
in Greek- according to Strong’s G1699 it means “my”, “mine”
The red words are the actual words of God….no filter from man, whatsoever.
Hence, the reason I am doing a series of bible studies just on the words Jesus
spoke in the New Testament.
