Everything God says could be described by any of these terms. \u2018Law\u2019 is \u2018instruction\u2019 and also a \u2018lamp\u2019 and \u2018light.\u2019 \u2018Wisdom\u2019 and \u2018truth\u2019 is also \u2018love\u2019 and \u2018life.\u2019 Some people separate His Words into cubbyholes. They think that somehow a word from Him that is \u2018Law\u2019 is not \u2018love,\u2019 or that a word that is a \u2018lamp\u2019 is not \u2018Law.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
