word of god - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Word of God
  (Heb. 4:12, etc.). The Bible so called because the writers of
  its several books were God's organs in communicating his will to
  men. It is his "word," because he speaks to us in its sacred
  pages. Whatever the inspired writers here declare to be true and
  binding upon us, God declares to be true and binding. This word
  is infallible, because written under the guidance of the Holy
  Spirit, and therefore free from all error of fact or doctrine or
  precept. (See INSPIRATION; BIBLE.) All
  saving knowledge is obtained from the word of God. In the case
  of adults it is an indispensable means of salvation, and is
  efficacious thereunto by the gracious influence of the Holy
  Spirit (John 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:15, 16; 1 Pet. 1:23).
