The Word

The Voice of Zion January 2026 - The Book of Books --

The Bible is unlike any other book. While libraries contain countless volumes written by human minds, the Bible is God’s own Word to His people. It is a collection of many writings from different times and places, yet it speaks with one voice. The apostle Paul reminded Timothy that all Scripture is God-breathed. This means it is not only human words but the living Word of God, inspired by His Spirit. It teaches, rebukes, corrects and trains us so that we may live as God’s children.

From the very beginning, God intended that His Word would be our guide and comfort. For generations it has shaped the lives of believers, from children learning simple verses to elders drawing strength from familiar passages. The Bible does not merely tell us about God; the Bible is more than information. It is God’s Word that points us to Christ, strengthens faith, and guides us in life. It strengthens and affirms faith in our hearts and shows us His plan of salvation in Christ Jesus.

In 2026, we will present various aspects of this book. This is where our journey begins: with the Word itself. The Bible is the foundation for all that follows in the Book of Books. As we move from promises to creation, law, prophecy, psalms, and wisdom, and finally to Christ and the hope of eternity, we will see how the entire story is bound together by this enduring Word.
