God revealed his words to us in human words as be took on himself in the human flesh. God speaks to us in one single Word the way he could express himself so men could understand. One Word, the word of God is expressed through out the entire scripture.
The Church has found constant nourishment and strength in treating the sacred scripture not as written by humans but as what it is, the word of God. "In the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children, and talks with them."
Comment: Sacred scripture is the source to feed knowledge into our spiritual life. In order to fully experience and understand the Word of God we must first recognize it as such and open our hearts to allow him to speak to us. We are not reading just any book, but we are listening to God as he speaks to us in this manner and means of communication.
