The engrafted word refers to the Word of God as it is spiritually connected to Christ, enabling believers to receive salvation and transformation.
In James 1:21-25, the engrafted word is described as the Word of God, which is spiritually connected to Jesus Christ. This signifies that the gospel is not merely an external message but a powerful truth that has been internalized in the hearts of believers through the work of the Holy Spirit. It is this engrafted word that enables individuals to experience true salvation and transformation in their lives, as they become doers of the Word and not merely hearers. As believers, we are called to lay aside all impurities and accept the engrafted word with humility, understanding that it is through this Word that we come to know the life-giving truth of the gospel.
