What does the Bible say about receiving the Word of God?
Answered in 9 sources
The Bible teaches that believers should receive the Word of God not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which can effectively work within them.
In 1 Thessalonians 2:13, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the attitude of receiving God's Word with the recognition of its divine origin. Believers are called to accept the Scriptures as the truth, understanding that they come from God, not merely from human sources. This attitude of receiving the Word of God is essential, as it is through the Scriptures that God saves His people and brings them to new life. James 1:18 echoes this truth, stating that believers are born again through the Word of truth, highlighting the life-giving power of God's Word in the hearts of His children.
