From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   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).
