The Word of the Lord destroys our SinNature and makes us a NewSpirit being. -> If we stay in the Word it will transform our minds to the MindOfChrist. -> If we trust the Word it will heal our bodies. -> By the Word and the HolySpirit we come to have the thoughts and intents of the Lord so purifying our hearts.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us Joh 1:14. Jesus is the IncarnateWord. To love Jesus is to love His Word. Those who do not love His Word only love the idea of Jesus. It is how a man might love a woman^s body but care nothing for her spirit and soul.
