Word of God is Like – Seven Images in Bible

• Bible often portrays various visual images or pictures to describe themes or topics (Psalms 23:1, Psalms 18:1 etc).
• Old Testament is full of images or visual representation of the things to come. In fact, Bible offers different images for the ‘Word of God’ itself.
• We find seven different images for the Word of God in the bible. This bible study lesson is the list of these images found in the bible.

1. The bible is Like a Double Edged Sword:
   • Hebrews 4:12: -”For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
2. Like Fire:
   • Jer 23:29: – “”Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?”
3. Like Hammer:
   • Jer 23:29: – “”Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?”
4. Like Lamp and Light:
   • Ps 119:105: – “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.”
5. Like Food:
   • Mat 4:4: – “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
   • 1 Pet 1:25-2:2:”But the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you. Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”
6. Like Seed:
   • 1 Pet 1:23: – “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.“
7. Like Mirror:
   • James 1:22-25: – “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.”

Why The Bible?

Why The Bible?

Jesus began His public ministry by reading from Scripture (writings found in the Holy Bible.) In fact, He quoted from them quite often.  If He didn't believe in what's written in Scripture, would He have used it as the source of much of what He spoke about?  Of course not!  Since Jesus believed in Scripture, shouldn't we?  Of course we should!

In the Bible, it's written, "All Scripture is God- breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." A key word in this verse is All.  All means all, not some.

Doctor Luke

Doctor Luke

Luke, the writer of the New Testament books the Gospel of Luke, and the Acts of the apostles, was a physician by trade.  From his writings, it is also clear that he was a very learned man. 

Luke first met the apostle Paul at Troas on Paul's second missionary journey.  On Paul's third missionary journey, we find Luke living in Philippi.

It would appear that Doctor Luke was a constant companion of the apostle Paul through his first imprisonment in Rome.  And even during his second imprisonment to some extant.

He was Paul's medical advisor and undoubtedly prolonged Paul's life and rescued him from many a serious illness.  he was a medical missionary.

There are several Church traditions as to his manner and place of death.  One is that he died peacefully in Boeotia and the other is that he was crucified with the apostle Andrew at Patras or at Elaea in Peloponnesus

The Apostle Saul ( Paul )

 The Apostle Saul  ( Paul )

Saul (later to be known as the apostle Paul) was zealous in all that he did.  He was from the Jewish tribe of Benjamin, and when describing himself, he said he was a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the Mosaic Law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the Christian Church, as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. (Philippians 3:4-6)  Even so, he was to become one of the greatest evangelists of his day in spreading Christianity after his encounter with Christ Jesus on the road to Damascus.

Saul did everything he could to try and stop the growth of Christianity.  In fact, when Stephen (the first recorded Christian martyr in the New Testament) was killed, Saul was there (watching the cloaks of those who were stoning Stephen.)

On the day Stephen was martyred, a great persecution broke out against the Christian Church in Jerusalem and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.  At that time, Saul began to destroy the Church.  Going from house to house , he dragged off Christian men and women and put them in prison.  Eventually he obtained letters from the Jewish religious leaders to Jews in Damascus and he went there to bring the Christians (known as followers of the Way at that time) back to Jerusalem to be punished.

About noon, as he came near to Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around him.  He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute Me?'  Who are you Lord?' He asked.  I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'  Next, Jesus instructed Saul to get up and go into Damascus. 

Because of the brilliance of the bright light, Saul had been blinded.  For three days he could not see (his companions had to lead him into Damascus by hand.)

While in Damascus, Jesus instructed a devout follower of the Way to pray for Saul in order that his sight be restored.  When he did, immediately Saul could see.   Saul was told that he would be Jesus' witness to all men of what he had seen and heard.  At that time, Saul got up and was baptized a follower of Christ Jesus.  Saul was to become known as the apostle to the Gentiles (non-Jews) whereas Peter was called the apostle to the Jews.  

Saul's great abilities and earnest enthusiasm in spreading the gospel of Christ have made his name revered wherever the Christian religion is known.  It is his writings which make up much of the New Testament of the Bible.

After his wonderful conversion, Saul went to Jerusalem where he saw Peter, James and John.  Later, he went forth with Barnabas to preach (sent forth from the church in Antioch.)

Much can be read about the life and missionary journeys of Saul in the New Testament of the Bible.  On his first missionary journey, while at Paphos on the island of Cyprus, we see Saul, also, referred to as Paul (the name we have known him by since.)

Paul suffered much in spreading the Gospel.  Most of his missionary efforts were in what is modern day Greece and Turkey, and the surrounding areas. 

After being released from imprisonment in Rome, as part of his further missionary journeys, it is believed that Paul, also, visited Gaul and Spain (there is, also, a belief that he visited England.)

When Paul returned to Rome, he was taken prisoner again and imprisoned for nine months with the apostle Peter in the Mamertine prison.

It was in Rome that the apostle Paul suffered martyrdom.  By order of the Emperor Nero, Paul was beheaded with a sword.

Bible Reading Schedule

How to use this schedule:

To read through the Bible in one year, follow both the Old Testament and New Testament readings.  You may read the Old Testament in the morning and the New Testament in the evening.  Or, you may read from both the Old Testament and New Testament in one sitting.  Both selections would probably take about 30 minutes.
If you wish to go more slowly and read the Bible in two years, you can follow the Old Testament reading on one day and the New Testament reading on the next day. Or, if you wish to read the Bible at your own pace, just cross off the chapters that you read each day.
