"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."
1 Peter 23-26
We are born again by the Word of God.
The Word of God is the seed that makes that new birth possible and gets people saved.
In the Parable of the sower found in three of the four Gospels, The seed is the Word of God.
The Bible is the Word of God, it was in the beginning with God and it was God.
Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh.
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1.14
The words of God are spirit and they are life and they bring Salvation.
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10.17
"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise."
Ephesians 1.13
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
Romans 1.16
You can't separate The Word of God with salvation, for the Word of God brings salvation.
You can not be saved without the Word of God.
You can not believe on Christ without hearing of Christ.
We are saved by Grace through Faith alone in The Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith grants access into Grace and Faith comes from hearing The Word of God.
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4.12
If somebody tries to paraphrase the Gospel in their own words it has to be in tandem with
scripture, You can not be saved without the Word of God.
You could hear the Word of God and then later on someone could explain the Gospel to you in their own words, but the Word of God must have been heard at some point in order for salvation to take place as it is the seed of new life.
It doesn't have to be the whole Bible, it could just be one verse, but hearing the Word of God is the essential seed needed for salvation.
Here are some scriptures for you to meditate on:
