Word of God

Today I read Isaiah 44:13-47:9 and 1 Thessalonians 2. My favorite verses are:

Isaiah 45:22-23 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

The Word of God is clear in Isaiah: There is one and only one God and every knee will bow to Him and acknowledge that He is God. Believers tell others about God; we know Him as the one true God and Savior of mankind. We know because we have believed the Word that He spoke, “Look unto me, and be ye saved”. God Himself, who came in the flesh as Jesus Christ, lived among men for 33 years, and died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins—the sins of the whole world—IS the only way of salvation. We hear the Word from God, we speak the Word of God, we know it is truly His Word which works in us, and we give thanks to Him for His Word.
