But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice. Luke 11:28

The word of God The word of God

The Bible is not the Word of God, to affirm that is an heresy, that is, a teaching of the error. The Bible tells us that in the beginning, before the creation of the world, before the man and the Bible, there was the Word: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made. John 1:1-3.
Thomas Aquinas in his book Summa Teologiae affirms: the Word of god is "engendered wisdom", that is to say  the Word of God is everything that comes from the sacred listening, the Art of Listening. The Bible is a book inspired by the Word of God.
Christ keeps going with the teaching with an important beatitude about the Word of God: But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice. Luke 11:28. ¿But what means more precisely to listen and practice God's Word? Theologically God is the Wisdom itself, said Tomas Aquinas. And there is more, in metaphysics of Aristotle, he clarifies that wisdom is the substance of God, or to say to speak about wisdom is to speak about God.
This is why, when we talk about the word of God we means to speak about Wisdom. Wisdom is the science of ultimate causes, the science of God, but also is the knowledge of the correct means to live. But what does it matter? Recall that there are two styles of life, live according to the flesh, or to say following our momentary  and passengers desires always looking for the immediate satisfaction. Or we live according to the spirit, or to say following the designs of Providence and God's Plan. For that last is necessary to acquire wisdom. But not anyway, listen and live the word of God, means to acquire wisdom, retain it, and put into practice constantly. Those who do this with constancy and firmness are the only ones truly happy, are those who bear fruit and "see the Kingdom" (John 3:3), because happiness is not an end by itself but the result of doing things correctly.
