What are words?An ancient proverb stated that the belly is not filled with words, meaning one cannot live on words alone. But in this book, words are signals to encounter the true word of God."Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" (Colossians 3:16) For Bible study, a Bible concordance or word index is often used, which is a collection listing the main words of the Bible.The author found it useful to extract 365 words from the Bible concordance, one for each day of the year, and to make them the starting point for meditation and prayer.This book does not claim to be a Bible concordance, but it presents in alphabetical order some biblical terms and concepts that we may know well but have never deeply explored.It is not a biblical dictionary, but it serves as an aid for Bible readers who often encounter terms whose meaning they would like to grasp better.The biblical passages collected in this book are intended to be a valuable aid for personal reflection.

He gave. We believe. We live.
