As with so much about God, this remains a mystery. But God’s Word appears to be the active presence of God in the world. So God’s Word is God at work in the world. In the beginning, God’s Word took the form of spirit and voice, which means that the creative presence of God is free and unpredictable, filled with surprises, speaking an amazing universe into existence and sustaining it every day. And understand, what we have in the Bible more than anything is not a set of facts, but a picture. It’s a picture of God at work. It’s a picture of God’s intimate, life-giving presence to the universe and to each one of us. And that presence is called God’s Word.
