”For
the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing
as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able
to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
”For
the Word of God is living and active . .”:
01)
The Bible is having dividing power as a sword (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible will
separate man from sin (Psalm 119:11), or sin will separate man from the Bible
(Isaiah 59:2).
02)
The Bible claims reflecting power as a mirror (James 1:22-25). In the Bible we
see ourselves as God sees us - as sinners (Romans 3:23).
03)
The Bible claims cleansing power as water (Ephesians 5:26). David prayed that
God would wash him from iniquity and cleanse him from sin (Psalm 51:2).
04)
The Bible claims reproductive power as seed (1 Peter 1:23). We are children of
God, because we have been born into the family of God by the imperishable seed
of God. This is the new birth (John 3:1-7).
05)
The Bible claims nourishing power as food (1 Peter 2:2). The Bible is spiritual
food for the soul. No Christian can remain strong in the Lord and not study the
Word of God.”
Father
God, I pray that as we read from the Bible, Your Word will perform its work in
us and nourish our souls giving us strength to walk with Jesus, in the power of
the Holy Spirit, to Your honor and glory. Amen.
