Can we say that man shall not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God recorded in the Bible? No. When we say that the Bible is the Word of God, the "word" is logos, not rhema. In Matthew 4:4 Jesus said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.'" In this verse "word" is rhema, not logos. Let us look at several passages in the New Testament where rhema is used. But rhema refers to words which are spoken. This is word, as we generally use it, and word, as it is generally known in Christianity. Logos refers both to things which have been eternally determined and to things used in an objective way. One is logos, referring to the word in a general sense the other is rhema, which although translated as word in Scripture, means something quite different from logos. We must notice this phrase "by the washing of the water in the word." In the New Testament two Greek words are used to denote word.
