NSString *text = @"In the begining God created heaven and earth. God is great.";

NSMutableAttributedString *mutableAttributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text];

NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(God)" options:kNilOptions error:nil]; // Matches 'God' case SENSITIVE

NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0 ,text.length);

// Change all words that are equal to 'God' to red color in the attributed string
[regex enumerateMatchesInString:text options:kNilOptions range:range usingBlock:^(NSTextCheckingResult *result, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop) {

    NSRange subStringRange = [result rangeAtIndex:0];
    [mutableAttributedString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:subStringRange];
}];

textCell.lineLabel.attributedText = mutableAttributedString;

Yes, you can change the color of a specific word Using "Text Kit framework" introduced in iOS 7.

look out for the statement "In the model-view-controller paradigm, the layout manager is the controller. NSTextStorage, a subclass of NSMutableAttributedString, provides part of the model, holding a string of text characters with attributes such as typeface, style, color" documented here: (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/CustomTextProcessing/CustomTextProcessing.html)

or else you can have a look at example given in this video (https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/#210) of WWDC 2013.
