A simple word study of the Bible reveals many truths, such as the number the number of times that words are used. Below are the most frequently used significant words in the Bible (after weeding out all of the pronouns, conjunctions, and articles):
The word “God” is used 4293 times in the Bible. We can add some 7365 occurrences of the word “Lord,” which usually refer to God. So we can say that the most frequently used word in the Bible is “God.” In addition, the second person of the godhead, “Jesus” or “Christ” (1476), is also referenced as our “blood” (415) “sacrifice” (242). This, of course, includes references for “Jesus Christ” only in the New Testament, since He was unnamed in the Old Testament. We selfishly tend to think that life is all about us, but it is first and foremost about God. He is supreme.
The word “man” is used 2747 times. When we add “people” (2271), “men” (1860), and “women” (401), we can say that the word “mankind” is the second most frequently used word in the Bible. In our fallen state, we can only look to God for mercy and grace.
Next are all of the words that refer to “Israel” (2509), including: “land” (1641), “Judah” (756), “Jerusalem” (956), and “Jews” (341). God began His plan of redemption by first choosing the nation of Israel as His own.
Then there are all the words that we think of when we think of “family” (76), including: “children” (1727), “child” (203), “father” or “fathers (1528), “brother” (395), and “mother” (271). God has adopted us believers into His family.
“Heaven” (644) or “kingdom” (384) is God’s dwelling place for us in eternity. Believers are assured of eternal “life” (550) and “peace” (470).
The attributes of God include “holiness” or “holy” (714), “power” or “strength” (673), “glory” (480), “love” (333), “righteousness” (284), “truth” (263), “mercy (352), and “grace” (180).
Our response to God is to “believe” (146) and have “faith” (242) in Jesus Christ, His Son.
