4: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5: And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

INTIMATION:

The Word of God is special revelation from God of Himself, and is the solemn declaration of His Will. And the Will of God is the expression of God. The Bible in First Samuel 3 vs 21 declares thus, "Then the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the LORD." The Word of God is the same with God (John 1 vs 1). It is an agent of creation (Psalm 33 vs 6), and by it all things are created (Genesis 1 vs 3 - 26). It is also the source of God's message to His people through the prophets (Hosea 4 vs 1), and it is God's law which is His standard of holiness (Psalm 119 vs 11).  

The Word of God is Christ (Revelation 19 vs 13), and Christ is God, and was with God in the beginning. God is everlasting, so is His Word (First Peter 1 vs 25). The Word is also a seed (Luke 8 vs 11). It was the seed (the Word) that God planted and it germinated into all that were created. The Word also, is a spiritual revelation of God, and living in the Word is living in Christ. He is the perfect teacher, and in Christ's life we see how God thinks and therefore, how we should think.

The Bible is the comprehensive Book regarded as the ultimate authority on the subject of the solemn declaration of the Will of God—the Word of God. It contains the engagement entered into between God and man. These declaration is called Testament and the engagement is known as covenant. The Bible is the ultimate authority detailing the engagement entered into between God and man, either that with Moses (as expressed in the Old Testament) or that instituted by Christ (as expressed in the New Testament). 

The Bible has been with us for more than two thousand years, and the early books of the Old Testament have existed almost twice that long. It's enduring life attests not only to its great spiritual treasures but also to its amazing stories, astonishing miracles, and intriguing facts that continue to grip readers today. Even today, the modern scholar or scientist is hard-pressed to provide a logical, natural explanation for the events described in the Bible. We must rely on the Bible authors' interpretations to shed light on otherwise inconceivable happenings. Their confident understanding of these events points us beyond ourselves to consider the One who created all things.

Obedience of the engagement as well as observance of the declaration, is doing the Will of God, and obeying the Word of God. Living the life of obedience and observance, guarantees a partnership with God in living your life on earth and ensures an ever profitable and classic living, and ultimately receiving the crown of life, that is, living with God in eternity after life here on earth.

The Word of God is called title "the Word of life" (Philippians 2 vs 26). And “the Word of live” is the combination of the two declarations in John 1 vs 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and in John 1 vs 4, "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." It has been established that the Word of God and God is one (John 1 vs 1). Since God and the Word is the same, the Word is as effective as God. God is life, therefore, His Word is life and the life was the light of men (John 1 vs 4). 

Prayer: Abba Father, let Your Word dwell richly in me, that I may obey You, and observe to do all that is in Your Word. Let the light that Your Word gives illuminate my path of life, that I may dwell continually in Your presence, and partake of the fullness of joy in your presence, and the everlasting pleasures at Your right hand, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
