Word of God in spiritual tradition
Spiritually, Word of God asks whether the soul is being formed by truth rather than noise.

Word of God in the Bible
The Bible presents God's word as creative, covenantal, prophetic, saving, living, enduring, and fulfilled in Christ.
Why Word of God matters

Sources and editorial method
This concise reference separates established definitions from historical, symbolic, or interpretive claims. Entries without external references are presented as editorial summaries rather than primary-source scholarship.
The page starts with a direct definition, then separates use, example, caution, spiritual meaning, and historical context. For astrology, occult, demonology, curse, and spiritual warfare terms, the editorial rule is to explain the term without making fear-based, fatalistic, medical, legal, financial, or ritual-instruction claims.
