Spirit and Word together

The breath of God

1Over the waters

“The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2), before the first word was spoken.

2Breath of life

God breathed into Adam “the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).

3Breath of his mouth

The heavens were made by His word, and their hosts by His breath (Psalm 33:6).

4God-breathed

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Inspired means breathed in.

A word is breath given shape. In scripture, Spirit and Word always come together.
