Of or relating to a relationship between three elements such that if the relationship holds between the first and second elements and between the second and third elements, it necessarily holds between the first and third elements. Examples of transitive relationships are equality for numbers and divisibility for integers.
For us, one of the greatest examples of a transitive relationship is the relationship of God, through Jesus, to (us) man.
John 8:19
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, "Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 KJV)
God's Word - A weapon of righteousness.
Text by Wayne Jackson:
The weapon employed by the Faithful and True One is that of a sword, a sharp sword, that kept on proceeding from his mouth (Rev 19:15). This is an obvious allusion to his powerful word (cf. Heb. 4:12).God's Word expressing His thought.
Scripture is replete with references to the incomprehensible power of the spoken word of God. No less than ten times in Genesis 1 Moses employed the verb “said” in describing the creative acts by which the universe was fashioned. Later, the Psalmist expressed it like this: “By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. . . for he spake and it was done” (Psa. 33:6,9). In maintaining the world, the writer of Hebrews observes that the Lord Jesus upholds all things “by the word of his power” (Heb. 1:3).
And so, at the time of judgment, the Savior will wage no carnal conflict with his enemies; he will merely speak the word, and they will be banished to eternal punishment (cf. Isa. 11:4; 2 Thes. 2:8).
"What Solomon calls 'Wisdom' is the same word as Logos in John 1; it means God's Word expressing His thought." ~ Oswald Chambers, Biblical Psychology pg 37.
"The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens." Proverbs 3:19 KJV
