Summary
You may have heard people in church say, "Jesus is the Word of God," but they also say, "The Bible is the Word of God." The Bible itself refers to Jesus as the "Word of God." How are those things both true? Kaitlyn explains how the term "Word of God" is used throughout the Bible, the debates around the Greek word for "word," and how we interpret scripture to define important terms.
