In the sermon 'Know the God of the Word' by David Green, the speaker emphasizes the distinction between knowing the text of the Bible and knowing God Himself. He shares an anecdote about an atheist who was well-versed in the Bible but did not believe in God, highlighting that familiarity with scripture does not equate to faith or understanding of God. The sermon underscores the importance of knowing Jesus, the 'Living Word' who became flesh, as the true path to understanding the Bible. The speaker challenges listeners to reflect on their relationship with God rather than merely their knowledge of scripture.

Some people read the Bible and read it over and over again, and they miss it. Like, there's Jews of old. I used to work with a guy. I worked with his wife, but he would sometimes come into the place I worked. And he had a King James Bible and a Strong's Concordance.

And he knew the Bible pretty well but you know what he was? He was an atheist and he would want to argue all the time. He knew the words. Question isn't do you know the word of God? As much as it is, do you know the God of the Word?

Do you know Jesus? Do you know the Living Word? The word who became flesh and dwelt among us.
