The Word Is Life

The Word Is Life

John 1:1-4 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

Jesus states;

John 6:63 

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

1John 1:1 

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 

Words that are to be manifested into actions. The Word of life that can be heard, seen, and touched. Living the examples.

1John 2:5-6 

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 

Jer 31:33 

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

God speaks of putting His “Word” or “Law” in people’s minds and writing it on their hearts. This implies that living the Word becomes an internal reality for the soul.

The Word is Life as it is the essence and source of life. The idea that a soul living for an eternity would undoubtedly live the examples put forth from the Word is the concept of sanctification and glorification.

If the “Word” is the blueprint for life, and a soul is granted “Life” (eternal existence) through that Word, then the two become inseparable. In that state, the soul isn’t just observing the examples, it is becoming the manifestation of them.

The premise that the Word is the literal substance of life, and the soul is the vessel that experiences that life eternally, then the soul becomes a participant in the Word’s entirety.

The transition from “knowing” to “being.”

If the Word is the source of all existence (John 1:3), an eternal soul cannot exist “outside” of it. To live eternally is to be sustained by the Word, meaning every facet of the soul’s existence eventually aligns with every facet of the Word.

The soul as a “living letter.”

2Co 3:3 

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 

Because eternity has no end, the soul has the “time” to experience and manifest every dimension of the Word. From its justice and law to God’s grace.

Since the Word is infinite and the soul’s life is eternal, then the soul essentially moves through an endless unfolding of the Word’s nature. It wouldn’t just be a general experience, but a comprehensive one where no part of the “Life” contained in the Word remains untouched or unlived by the soul.

The Bible states humankind was created in the “Image of God.” Therefore, the soul’s journey is a return to that original state. Living every part of the Word is the process of the soul being restored mirroring the image of God.

Heb 5:13 

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 

Eph 4:7 

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

1Co 3:13 

Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 

Infinite education and a process of becoming what the Word speaks. Because the soul is on a progressive path through the Word, then judging someone else is essentially judging where they happen to be on a timeline that you are also traveling. So judgment is not logical or with any consistency.

You could say it is different chapters from the same book. If the Word is “Life” and everyone must live every part of it, one person might be living through a chapter of trials and refining while another is in a chapter of grace and peace.

Judging someone in a trial would be like criticizing a character on page 50 for not knowing what happens on page 200.

Mat 7:4 

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 

Judgment isn’t just “wrong”, it’s impossible. You cannot judge a process that is eternal and still in a progressive motion. The only logical response to another soul is by empathy. Souls are simply living their own path from same infinite Word.

While the Word is the same for everyone, the order in which a soul experiences those parts might be unique. One soul may learn “patience” through suffering early on, while another learns it through long suffering later. A snapshot of a soul at any given moment doesn’t reveal its total path.

When you view the soul’s journey as an inevitable progressive unfolding of the Word, judgment simply disappears. If the soul is destined to live every part of that Life, then every struggle or failure we see in ourselves or others is just a passage being worked through, not a final destination.
