Scripture and/or Jesus Himself — God's living message to humanity
lightbulbNot just a book — it's living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12)
21 mentions across 11 books
Used two ways in the Bible: (1) The written Scriptures — God's revealed truth preserved in text (Hebrews 4:12 calls it 'living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword'). (2) Jesus Himself — John 1:1 says 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' Both meanings point to the same truth: God communicates, and His communication has power.
The word of God reaching Gentiles is described here as the surprising report that spread through Judea — the phrase signals that something covenant-expanding has happened beyond the expected Jewish audience.
The Word Kept GrowingActs 12:24-25The word of God is the chapter's final subject — it increased and multiplied despite executions, imprisonments, and royal persecution, positioning it as the force that outlasts every earthly power.
A Sorcerer, a Governor, and a ShowdownActs 13:4-12The word of God is what Paul and Barnabas are proclaiming in the Cypriot synagogues — the same message the proconsul Sergius Paulus will later summon them specifically to hear.
A Voice in the DarkActs 18:9-11The word of God is what Paul spends eighteen months teaching in Corinth after the vision — a sustained, deep investment in forming a community rather than moving on quickly.
A Prayer That Moved the RoomActs 4:23-31The Word of God is what the community prays for courage to keep speaking — the specific thing the council ordered them to stop is the very thing they ask God to empower them to continue.
The Word of God here is described as something that burns inside Jeremiah against his will — an uncontainable compulsion that makes silence physically impossible.
Fire and StrawJeremiah 23:25-32God's word is contrasted with the prophets' dreams here — while their messages are straw, his word is fire and a rock-shattering hammer, something that doesn't just comfort but transforms and breaks down what needs breaking.
The King and the KnifeJeremiah 36:20-26The Word of God here is the scroll being cut apart and fed into the flames column by column — its physical destruction presented as the chapter's central act of defiance, and the pivot point that triggers God's direct response.
The narrator's comparison of Ahithophel's counsel to the word of God is deeply ironic here — his advice is trusted as divinely authoritative even as it enables cruelty and moral catastrophe.
A Counselor's End2 Samuel 17:23The phrase captures the extraordinary esteem Ahithophel once commanded — his counsel was treated as virtually infallible, making his final rejection all the more catastrophic for him.
