Logos and Rhema

2 Timothy 2:15 LEB

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, a worker having no need to be ashamed, guiding the word of truth along a straight path.

2 Timothy 2:15 AMP

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 (WUESTNT)

Bend your every effort to present yourself to God, approved, a workman unashamed, expounding soundly the word of the truth.

The Logos is the full expression. Rhema is the manifestation.

The Logos is like a well of water, and the Rhema is a bucket of water from that well. Logos and Rhema are one with God."[1] The logos "is the standard of all truth...the Rhema, [is that] which provides the precise word needed for the specific situation.

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV)

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Both logos and rhema are the Word of God, but the former is God's Word objectively recorded in the Bible, while the latter is the word of God spoken to us at a specific occasion. All the rhema of God is based upon logos!

Logos is the objective word and Rhema is the subjective word.

Chronos time and Kyrios time!

Luke 1:38 (NKJV)

Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word (rhema).” And the angel departed from her.

Faith is grasping the unrealities of hope and bringing them into the realm of reality.-Kenneth Hagin

Joshua 1:8 NKJV

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Hebrews 11:1 AMP

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
