=What are the different names and titles of the Bible?=


 * Question: "What are the different names and titles of the Bible?"**


 * Answer:** There are over a dozen names and titles of the Bible found in both the Old and New Testaments. The following is a list of the most well known.


 * Book of the Law** (Deuteronomy 31:26) – “Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee." The Bible is described as a book of laws, laws which are not meant to enslave us or stifle our relationship with God and life on earth, but laws which are meant to strengthen our relationship with God and enhance our lives.


 * Gospel** (Romans 1:16) – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also the Greek”. The Bible reveals to us the gospel, the good news, about the Lord Jesus Christ and that through God’s Son, our sins are forgiven and we are granted salvation.


 * Holy Scriptures** (Romans 1:2) – “(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures." The Bible is a collection of sacred writings which are holy as they are made authoritative by God, who is its topic and inspiration.


 * Law of the Lord** (Psalm 19:7) – “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Not only do the laws of the Bible strengthen our relationship with God and enhance our lives, they are not to be confused with any other; they are the Lord’s and the Lord’s alone, not the ramblings of man.


 * Living Words** (Acts 7:38) – “This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Si'na, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:” The Bible is a living book, each book, chapter and verse alive with the knowledge and wisdom of God Himself.


 * Message of Christ** (Colossians 3:16) – “Let the word of Christ dwell among you richly teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” The message of Christ is the message of salvation from sin through the only One who can accomplish it.


 * Scriptures** (2 Timothy 3:16) – “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” Inspired by God, the Bible is a collection of sacred writings that is unlike any other, because it has been written by the hand of men who were moved by the Spirit of God (2 Peter 1:21).


 * The Scroll** (Psalm 40:7) – “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book //it is// written of me, ” In prophesying about Jesus, the Bible refers to itself as a scroll, a roll of parchment documenting priceless knowledge to be shared from generation to generation.


 * Sword of the Spirit** (Ephesians 6:17) – “And take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God:” Like a sword, the Bible can defend any attack brought before it, but can also strike the truth of God and His words. The writer to the Hebrews referred to it as sharper than any “double-edged sword” because it is capable of “dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart’ (Hebrews 4:12).


 * Truth** (John 17:17) – “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” As the Bible is the Word of God, it is the truth. Every word is from the mind of God and since He is truth, so must His Word be truth.


 * Word of God** (Luke 11:28) – “But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.” The Bible is like the mouthpiece of God, as through each book He speaks directly to us.


 * Word of Life** (Philippians 2:16) – “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” The Bible and its truths reveal to us the difference not only between life and death, but the eternal life that lies before those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and the eternal death for those who do not.


 * Words of the Lord** (Psalm 12:6) – “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times..” The Bible is replete with the many words, perfect and without flaw, which the Lord spoke through prophets and disciples in order to reveal all His love and glory.
