The Word of God.
p. 208
This title of the Scriptures, which is of constant occurrence in the Acts of the Apostles,
is an enlightening testimony to the character of the Apostle's preaching in the power of
the Spirit.
"They spake the word of God" (Acts iv. 31).
"That they should leave the word of God" (Acts vi. 2).
"The word of God increased" (Acts vi. 7).
"They received the word of God" (Acts viii. 14).
"They preached the word of God" (Acts xiii. 5).
"They desire to hear the word of God" (Acts xiii. 7).
"They came . . . . . to hear the word of God" (Acts xiii. 44).
"The Jews had knowledge that the word of God was preached" (Acts xvii. 13).
"So mightily grew the word of God" (Acts xix. 20).
It is evident that the apostolic conception of the gospel found no room for questioning
or setting aside the Word of God.
