Truly, Jesus Christ is the living Word of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1

And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. - Revelation 19:13

Scriptures contain the words of God which are spirit and life - unlike the words of men.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. - Matthew 4:4

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

And the Creation itself declares God.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. - Psalms 19:1-3

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: - Romans 1:20

And the indwelling Holy Spirit brings the words of God alive in us.

But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:10-14

It's a whole 'nother language that not everyone can hear.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. - John 8:43

"Ears to hear" - what a gift!

But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. - Matthew 13:16

To God be the glory!

Absolutely.. blessed we are.. and a nose that can smell... all three senses being metaphors for spiritual detectors.. spiritual qualifiers.. spiritual scales to weigh spiritual weight..

What good are eyes that cannot see the spirit, ears that cannot hear the spiritual music, and a nose that cannot detect the odors of the love feast..
