The Word of God is Living and Powerful
Sept 10, 2023
“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.” (Heb 4:12)
God is speaking to us even right now through this word and it is active, it is active. It is working even right now when we read it, when you and I read it on a daily basis. When we come together in our churches to read it, it is active. God is acting through his word among us and it is sharper than any two-edged sword. So picture the sharpest two-edged sword.
The word of God is powerful, it was written by inspiration of God to men, who wrote as they received it, not what they thought God meant or their interpretation. (2Pet 1:19-21) The word is two edged it works in two ways, bringing us to eternal life, testifying of the work of God from the beginning to the end. “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (Joh 5:39).
“For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD” (Psa 149:4-9).
