And the Lord spake

Leviticus 25:1 KJV
And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

Fifteen chapters in a row Leviticus begins with words to the effect of, "And the Lord spake.."

It began to impress me in this reading that these are truly the Words of God. How important it is that we see the Bible as more than the words of man about God but the words of God to man.
• These are not the writings of religious speculators
• These are the inventions of would be spiritual leaders

When we read the Word of God we are reading the very words of God.

And that gives a wholly different weight to them.
• This is the communication of God
• This is God's position concerning the condition of man
• This is God's perception of the nature of sin
• This is God's revelation of the eternal future and
• This is God's offer of everlasting salvation

What a privilege to possess the Word of God! And what a blessing it is to read and study it.
