Logos

Strong’s number G3056 a word, uttered by a living voice, embodies a conception or idea.

We pick up our bibles with authority of conviction and we call it the Word of God, and it is, but it is a written record of what God said. It is written, not spoken. Or is it?

Another Greek word for word is rhema, G4487 any sound produced by the voice and having definite meaning. Why two words if they mean the same thing, or do they?

Is there a difference between an utterance and a sound? On the surface by worldly standards one would have to say they are the same. Since we are talking spiritual standards, what else exists to be known here?

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

John15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

So here we are with this book, the bible, which we call the Word of God, written in various languages and versions, which is Logos, uttered by a living voice, the embodiment of concepts and ideas. Can you hear those utterances? They are not rhema sound, but convey to us the essence of that living being, Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit, the third person of the living God.

Do you hear me?

  1. Loud and clear!! Thank you for this great reminder. Wonderful that the utterance of God brought this world into existence, guided His people through their journeys, provided me with a Savior, and proclaims His LOVE to all mankind today, and warns all who reject or neglect Jesus as Savior of eternal judgment.
    Great post, dear brother.
