How did all this happen? The Lord used the constant, written word ( logos) you’d previously read and memorized to speak an instant and personal word to you ( rhema) in your particular situation. Thank You, Lord, when my mind is set on my spirit, it’s life and peace!”Īs you turn to the Lord in your spirit, you’re saved from being consumed by your negative thoughts, and you’re ushered into enjoying life and peace from God. I set my mind on You in my spirit right now. I need to turn back to the Lord to set my mind on Him.” So you begin to pray, “Lord, I turn back to You. Immediately you realize, “No wonder I’m so dead! I’ve been setting my mind on my flesh. All of a sudden, Romans 8:6, a verse you had read before, pops into your head: “The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.” As you let all your thoughts about it swirl around in your mind, you begin to feel spiritually deadened. The more you think about it, the more bothered you are. For example, let’s say you’re at work or school and something happens that makes you very upset. His instant words in any given situation guide us and turn us to Him when we take heed to them. So the more we read the written Word, even storing it up in us by memorizing and musing over it, the more God can speak instant words to us. And God’s living, instant speaking always corresponds with and never contradicts His written Word. God uses His logos Word to speak His rhema word to us.
RHEMA WORD FROM GOD PLUS
Logos plus rhemaīoth logos and rhema are crucial to our Christian life. Now let’s take a closer look at how we can receive this rhema from God. It’s by the rhema word that we can know God subjectively, in our personal experience. He continues to speak today, and He wants to speak directly to us. His written word is a record of His speaking. Our God isn’t silent He’s a speaking God. The lesser-known of these two Greek words is rhema, which is used to refer to the instant, personal speaking of God. Knowing about God objectively is certainly a wonderful thing, but we can go further to know God on a personal level and experience Him subjectively. But we have to thank God for giving us the Bible, which communicates to us who He is and what He desires. We would be left to wonder or guess what His intention is. Without the logos, we would have no way to know God’s purpose, or our place in that purpose. When we read the written word, we can learn about God and know His ways, His salvation, and His plan for mankind. How incredible it is that we human beings can have God’s written word in our hands! In the New Testament, logos is used to refer to the constant, written word, which is recorded in the Bible. The more commonly known of these two Greek words is logos. That’s why we’re taking some time in this post to discuss logos and rhema and their importance to our Christian lives. Understanding the meaning of these two Greek words can help us know and experience God in a deeper way. Did you know that in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, two different Greek words are used to refer to the word of God? One is logos, and the other is rhema.
