Just to add to this post my own thoughts... The Word of God is the Teaching of God, and the Teaching of God is the Torah of God. Christ is the Torah of God in the flesh. I don't think "Word" was a new term that suddenly arose within a Greek context from a Hebrew background. Word carries the connotation of God's words, and God gives us his words to instruct and enlighten us. Therefore his Word is Torah, and Christ is Torah in the flesh. Where can we find Torah? By the very definition of it (i.e. "Teaching") we can find it in the Old Testament and the New Testament which are in our Bibles. One should study Christ's words because they are God's Teaching given to Men. Those who reject those words found in the Bible will not even have the chance to receive eternal life.
But I think the point you want to make is that we should not be hearers of the Word alone but doers. Unless we have the Torah of God in our hearts we will not be very obedient to Christ's words.
May Jesus bless you.
A question:
What is the rejection of those words found in the bible? Is it not, not obeying them?
If those words have not found their way into your heart, and you don't obey them, then those words have fallen by the ways side, or among thorns, or among stones. But if they have found their way into a pure heart, with UNDERSTANDING, then that person ought to also bear fruit.
It is one thing to have an intellectual approach and another to have a revelation of the Word of God, and to obey.
Most people have intellectual approach, they lean to their own understanding and their own ways. This way they excuse themselves from the truth, by their interpretations. These same people resist the Holy Spirit, because he is the Spirit of Truth.
It is written:
Act 7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Act 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Act 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Act 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Act 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Act 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
Act 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Act 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Act 7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Act 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Act 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
Act 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Act 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
There is the same resisting today.
May Jesus bless you.
