Our Speaking God

God dwells with His people in the space-time reality in which He created them, and communes with them in language with which He endowed them. He is not aloof and He is not silent. He is present and communicates verbally. His words are an extension of Himself and reflect His nature. They are altogether pure and without blemish. They belong in the Holy of Holies. They are fully authoritative. They are promulgated by the sovereign Lord whom the cherubim worship. At the same time, His words reach out to man and accompany them. They are rooted in love. They are issued from the mercy seat. They are an ever-present light. They are carefully preserved for the generations to come. In a word, they are fundamental because they are His and remain His. He produces them. He speaks them Himself or has them spoken by His authority. He preserves them. He writes them or has them written under His superintendence. God is the ultimate Author of His own Word. This Word is and remains His living and abiding Voice.
