The scriptures, the Word of God, the Bible: what are these?

God’s words are very powerful for even the very creation of all things came into existence by God commanding it to be. He spoke the word, and it was done. (Genesis 1 & Hebrews 11:3)

Throughout the history of the world God has also at times spoken his word directly to certain men (Genesis 3:15, Exodus 3, Samuel 3:4-14, Jeremiah 30:1-2) – to have them obey his word, and to have some of them write down what he spoke so that others could also read, understand, and obey his word. (Luke 1:1-4 & Acts 1:1-3)

God has inspired men by his Holy Spirit to speak his word to others (by preaching and teaching), and also to write down his word, and to record the history of what people did when they heard his word (whether they obeyed it or not) – so that others could also read it, learn from the word, and learn from the examples of those who obeyed and did not obey (I Corinthians 10:11-12).

The actual record of the various written words of God, and what people did with God’s word, is called "the scriptures"

The collection of all the scriptures into one book is called "the Bible" which is made up of 66 books that are divided into two main sections, the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament."

God has been particularly careful about the record of his word, and the collection of those records found in the Bible – he wants us to be very particular and careful about it also (Revelations 22:18-19).
