2 Timothy 2:15,15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
When it speaks there about rightly dividing the word of truth, properly interpreting the
Bible, where it says “word,” it is the Greek word “logos.”
The logos is the Bible, rightly
dividing the word of truth, talking about the Scriptures as a whole.
The logos is the
entirety of God’s word from the Book of Genesis all the way through to the Book of
Revelation.
For the most part, the word “logos,” translated “word” here, refers to the
general written word of God.
Now look in 2 Timothy 4:2,
2 Preach the word!
/(Preach the logos!) /Be ready in season /and /out of
season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
All right, preach the word: Anytime a message is preached from the word, it is the logos.
This book is where we are to get our doctrine.
When Jesus shared the parable about a
guy casting seed on the ground, He said the sower sows the word.
The sower sows the
logos is the Greek word that Jesus used.
Anything preached or shared from this Book is
a part of the logos or a revelation of what God has spoken.
Now let me just quote to you a few other verses so you will get an idea about it.
In
Hebrews 4:12, a verse many of us are familiar with, it says, “for the word of God is alive
and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, able to divide between spirit and
soul.”
All right, that’s the word “logos.”
The word of God, the logos of God is alive.
It is a
living thing.
In fact, it is God-breathed.
In John 1:1, it says, “In the beginning was the
Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God…” and then it says in John 1:14,
“and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” “Word” is the Greek word “logos.”
The word of God became flesh.
Jesus is the logos made flesh.
He is the embodiment of
the entire word of God.
We are commanded in Colossians 3:16 to let the word of Christ
dwell in us richly in all wisdom.
That is logos.
To let the logos dwell in us richly in all
wisdom.
In James 1:22, the Bible says to be doers of the word and not hearers only, because if
you just hear and you do not do, you are self-deceived.
Well, it is the word “logos”: to be
doers of the word.
In other words, be a doer of everything you hear in the Book, of
everything that applies to your life.
You just can’t pick and choose.
Be a doer of the
word.

Somebody might say, “Well, I like this part of the word, but I just don’t like that part on
tithing.
Please get done with that part.
I like this part on healing, but I don’t like this part
on not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together.
I like this part on God meeting
my needs, but I don’t like this part on forgiving.”
No, no, no!
We must be doers of the logos, of all the word of God in its entirety.
Now
Jesus said in Luke, chapter 6, that the man who hears and does His sayings… the word
“sayings” is logos… is like the one who builds his house on the rock.
So we are to let the logos, the word of God, dwell in us richly.
We are to build our lives
upon the precepts of the entire word of God, not just a portion of it.
We receive
knowledge, the knowledge we have about God and His promises from the logos.
In Matthew 24:35, Jesus is speaking, and He said:
35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass
away.
Now we know God and His word are one, correct?
Well, this logos, according to Jesus,
is more real than the heavens above us and the earth beneath our feet.
It is more
trustworthy than the chair you are sitting on.
A lot of you have faith in a natural sense:
You sat down in that chair; you did not even test it first.
You just believed it would hold
you up.
Well, the logos is more sure than the earth beneath your feet.
It is more sure
than the sky above us.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s word will not pass
away.
Yet in spite of that, we see people all the time stand on the word… at least apparently
standing on the word, apparently using faith… and failing, not getting the results that
they are after.
Some people quote healing Scriptures, and they say the right things.
They may come up in a prayer line, have hands laid on them, but they do not get
healed.
We have all seen people apply the principles and yet experience failure, and
some have become discouraged and begin to doubt God and doubt the promises of
God.
Others have even accused God of being unfair and of being partial.
I remember years ago there were two women in church.
Both of them were barren; they
