Word of God: (Hebrews 4:12) etc. The Bible so called because the writers of its
several books were God's organs in communicating his will to men. It
is his "word," because he speaks to us in its sacred pages. Whatever
the inspired writers here declare to be true and binding upon us, God
declares to be true and binding. This word is infallible, because
written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and therefore free
from all error of fact or doctrine or precept.

(See BIBLE)
All saving knowledge is obtained from the word of God. In the case of
adults it is an indispensable means of salvation, and is efficacious
thereunto by the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit
(John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:15,16; 1 Peter 1:23)
