" Word, Light and Life"

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. (John 1:1-4) Because no word shall be impossible with God. (Luke 1:37) For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. (Romans 15:4)

The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; Their unfolding gives understanding. (Psalm 119:130) He taught me and said to me,

“Let your heart hold fast my words;

Keep my commandments and live.

“Get [skillful and godly] wisdom! Acquire understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]!

Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

“Do not turn away from her (Wisdom) and she will guard and protect you;

Love her, and she will watch over you.

“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]!

And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].

“Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you;

She will honor you if you embrace her. “She will place on your head a garland of grace;

She will present you with a crown of beauty and glory. When you walk, your steps will not be impeded [for your path will be clear and open];

And when you run, you will not stumble.

Take hold of instruction; [actively seek it, grip it firmly and] do not let go.

Guard her, for she is your life. My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;

Open your ears to my sayings.

Do not let them escape from your sight;

Keep them in the center of your heart.

For they are life to those who find them,

And healing and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:4-9,12-14,20-22) The Law of the LORD is perfect; it renews one's life, restoring the soul. His teachings last forever, and they give wisdom to ordinary people.

The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing in the heart; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up. (Psalm 19:7-8)

When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light, And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life.(Proverbs 6:22-23)

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105)

The nations [the redeemed people from the earth] will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring into it their glory. (Revelation 21:24) And we also thank God continually for this, that when you received the word of God [concerning salvation] which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its inherent, supernatural power in those of faith]. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

But Jesus replied, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD." (Matthew 4:4)
