What is Meant by Bible, Scripture, and The Word of God?

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · What Is Meant By Bible, Scripture, & The Word Of God?
The term Bible comes from the Greek term biblion and refers to a scroll.  The term biblíon is used in Luke 4:17 to refer to the sacred writings of Isaiah.  The term biblíon is also used in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) to translate the Hebrew term sēper meaning scroll, which is used to described the sacred writings. 

  • Then he took the book (sēper / biblíon) of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient! - Exodus 24:7

The term Scripture comes from the Greek term graphē and refers to both the Old and New Testaments as sacred writings.

  • All Scripture (graphē) is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; - 2 Timothy 3:16

The Old Testament is called the Scripture in Matthew 21:42, Acts 1:16, Romans 1:1-2, James 2:23; James 4:5; 1 Peter 2:6 and 2 Peter 1:20.  Paul referred to both Luke 10:7 and Deuteronomy 25:4 as Scripture in 1 Timothy 5:18.  In 2 Peter 3:15-16, Peter referred to Paul’s writings as Scripture.  

The phrase Word of God is used in both the Old and New Testaments to recognize the writings as being from God.  


  • Every word of God is tested - Proverbs 30:5
  • If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture (graphē) cannot be broken), - John 10:35
  • For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword. - Hebrews 4:12

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
