I really enjoy words. They are my life.
Toward the end of Deuteronomy (32:47), Moses, after preaching God’s word to the people, with all of its promises and warnings, says this about those words.
They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.
God has a thing about words. God, using words, created the world, and he speaks words to us, offering us eternal life, life beyond the grave.
It’s interesting John writes words explaining the Incarnation of Jesus as the Word of God becoming flesh (See John 1). Jesus embodies the words that give life, showing us what Scripture should look like when lived out. That’s worth trying to wrap your mind around.
How about another interesting, challenging thought? We are called, through faith, to a relationship with the Word Who Became Flesh, Jesus. We are called to embody the heart and will of God, found in Jesus, found in Scripture, bringing it to life for the sake of others.
They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.
