I’d rather phrase the truth behind this in the positive:
If one really loves God, he/she will love His written word.....
BTW - did you know scripture NEVER refers to itself as “The Word of God”? It is most often referred to as scripture. “The word of the Lord” is all through the Bible, and in the book of Acts almost always refers to the spoken word through God’s servants - not to the OT scripture.
“The Word of God” as a term in itself is found only I believe in Revelation 19:13 referring exclusively to the Lord Jesus - “And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God.”
I’m open to being corrected if I am wrong........
Exactly!
