Word of God:

The Word of God figures prominently in Scripture as another name of God. The Word is not as clearly a person in the Old Testament as in the New Testament where Jesus Christ is identified as the personal Word of God (John 1:1,14). But it is evident from Ps 33:4,6, and 9 that the Word should be understood in a personal sense, for "the word of the Lord is right" indicating a personified Word. "By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made" (v. 6), echoing the creation in Gen 1:3,6. In the New Testament Jesus is seen to be both Word and Law personified.
