When Jesus Christ declares in Gospel of Matthew 4:4, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (“οὐκ ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος… ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος θεοῦ,”) He frames human existence in radically God-dependent terms. The emphatic Greek construction (“not on bread alone shall man live”) places material provision (ἄρτος, bread) in a secondary, insufficient position, while ζωή (life) is shown to derive from every ῥῆμα (rhēma), a word that carries the sense not merely of spoken utterance but of an active, effectual “word-event” or divine decree sustaining reality itself. A ‘rhema’ word is a word of life. Such are the words God speaks, and if we are wise, we will listen to them daily, for they are the blessing both of our today and of all our tomorrows.
