God's word
The sacred writings
God's word refers to sacred scripture believed to express divine will or teaching—most often the Bible in Christian contexts: She reads God's word every morning.
The phrase treats religious text as direct communication from the divine rather than human composition.
It can also mean any utterance or promise attributed to God: God's word is eternal.
