  2. Luther’s Theology of the Word The Word of God

  3. Genesis 15 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” 2But Abram said, O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram said, You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.

  4. Genesis 15 4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir. 5 He took him outside and said, Look up at the heavens and count the stars— if indeed you can count them. Then he said to him, So shall your offspring be. 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

  5. 1 Samuel 3 1 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions...7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him...

  6. 1 Samuel 3 19 The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground.  20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognised that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD. 21 The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.

  7. Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

  8. Psalm 33 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

  9. Jeremiah 1 4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,5Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.6Ah, Sovereign LORD, I said, I do not know how to speak; I am only a child.

  10. Jeremiah 1 7 But the LORD said to me, Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the LORD.

  11. Jeremiah 1 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, Now, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.

  12. John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

  13. Acts Acts 6:7:  So the word of God spread. Acts 12:24: But the word of God continued to increase and spread. Acts 13:49:  The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. Acts 19:20:  In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.

  14. 1 Thessalonians 1 8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. 9 Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. 10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.

  15. 1 Thessalonians 1 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. 13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

  16. Hebrews Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

  17. Hebrews Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Hebrews 13:7: Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God.

  18. Luther’s Theology of the Word The Threefold Word Christ Scripture Proclamation

  19. Luther’s Theology of the Word Sermon on Luke 2 “Christis completely wrapped in the Scriptures, just as the babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes. Preaching is the manger in which he lies and is apprehended, and from which we take our food.”

  20. Theology of the Word Martin Luther: “Tis a right excellent thing, that every honest pastor’s and preacher’s mouth is Christ’s mouth, and his word and forgiveness is Christ’s word and forgiveness… For the office is not the pastor’s or preacher’s but God’s; and the Word which he preacheth is likewise not the pastor’s and preacher’s but God’s.”

  21. Theology of the Word Martin Luther: “[God] condescends to enter the mouth of every Christian who professes the faith.” [Therefore preaching must be] “believed as though God’s own voice were resounding from heaven” (LW24, 66)

  22. Theology of the Word John Calvin: “When a man has climbed up into the pulpit… it is [so] that God may speak to us by the mouth of a man.”

  23. Theology of the Word The Second Helvetic Confession “The Preaching of the Word of God is the Word of God. Wherefore when this Word of God is now preached in the church by preachers lawfully called, we believe that the very Word of God is proclaimed and received by the faithful.”

  24. Theology of the Word Matthew 10:40“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.”

  25. Theology of the Word Matthew 10:40“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.”Luke 10:16“He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me. “

  28. Theology of the Word When are my words God’s words? Scripture Proclamation Christ

  29. Theology of the Word If this is true, how should it affect the manner in which we proclaim Christ?

  30. Theology of the Word “I opposed indulgences and all the papists, but never with force. I simply taught, preached and wrote God’s Word; otherwise I did nothing. And while I slept or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends Philip and Amsdorf, the Word so weakened the papacy that no prince or emporer ever inflicted such losses upon it. I did nothing; the Word did everything.” LW51, 77

  34. Theology of the Word Christ must be proclaimed biblically My job is not to speak about the bible. My job is to speak about what the bible speaks about.

  35. Theology of the Word LAW – GOSPEL  “The law uncovers sin; it makes the sinner guilty and sick; indeed, it proves him to be under condemnation... The gospel offers grace and forgives sin; it cures the sickness and leads to salvation." (Romans Commentary)

  40. Theology of the Word "Preaching is naught other but an offering and presentation of Christ.“ Not... Cool Credibility Creeds Courses

  41. Theology of the Word If this is true, how will it affect the content of your word ministry?

  42. Luther’s Theology of the Word Manner of Preaching

  43. Theology of the Word Christ must be proclaimed biblically Acts 17:11 1 John 4:1-3

  44. Theology of the Word Christ must be proclaimed biblically

  45. Theology of the Word “If I say, "I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name," there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, indeed I cannot.” Jeremiah 20:9 “I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” 1 Corinthians 9:16

  46. Theology of the Word 2 Cor 4:13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak,

  47. Theology of the Word 2 Cor 5 14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

  48. Theology of the Word 16 So from now on we regard no-one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

  49. Theology of the Word 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

  50. Theology of the Word 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Cor 5:14-21
