Jesus is so very much more than Scripture and Scripture is but a reflection of Him.

One can only get to KNOW Him through HIS Holy Spirit inspired Word. Never discount God's Word. It's not head knowledge but heart knowledge. The Holy Spirit gives more revelation on Scripture the deeper one goes. If one doesn't believe His Word as THE FINAL AUTHORITY - then one - not only doesn't KNOW HIM - but doesn't want to know Him. EVERY Scripture is important because HE gave it to us - and HE KNOWS BEST.

"Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matt 7:23

Want to KNOW Jesus who IS The Word? One has to know The Word and plant it in one's heart. JESUS is THE WORD. Reminder: "Thus you nullify the Word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that." Mark 7:13

John 5:39-40 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

If one doesn't believe His Word as THE FINAL AUTHORITY

First, is Jesus the final authority or is Holy Scripture? Second, do you acknowledge the two "Words" are not identities, i.e., not the exact same thing?
