The Language of God

After God created the universe, God's first gift to man was the power to use words to name the animals. "And the man became a living person" (Genesis 2:7) as "a speaking spirit." Words are alive with meaning and power: the power to create and the power to destroy. Words can be hateful and destructive. Words can express and contain love, faith, hope, desire, devotion, commitment, eternal wisdom, and holiness. Words can also impart forgiveness, healing, and restoration. "For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of good sense to the godly". (Proverbs 2:6-7) (NLT) Who would not want knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and good sense? The Language of God contains simple, concise, easily understood definitions of over115 vital biblical words. The Language of God is a handy reference for new Christians beginning to understand God's Word and for "old" Christians who would like a refresher. Read the word definitions attentively but more carefully listen to the voice of the Spirit, the Word of Life who is speaking.
