Hebrews 4:12
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.
The word of God is one of the most wonderful things that we can possess. It is quick, which means alive, this isn’t a dead book, but a book that first gives us life, and also a book that helps us in our lives. It is powerful, which means it is our authority, it is not a “magical” book but it is a book that we can rest and rely on as the FINAL AUTHORITY in all manners of faith. It is sharper than any two-edged sword; I remember watching a movie and 2 men were trying to show how good their swords were, the first one took a stone and with all the might that HE had split the stone in two. This didn’t mean the sword was better than the others, just that HE was strong. The second guy took his sword and threw a piece of silk in the air and stuck his sword out and the silk cloth fell on the edge of the sword it just split in half. The crowd was amazed knowing his sword was much sharper then the first. When I saw that scene, I thought to myself that is like the word of God, it is so sharp that it is the only thing that can divide the soul and spirit. We have a hard time separating them because they are so close but the word of God can separate the two and the result is that it will know your thoughts and intents. This is why so many people, when they are involved in sin, do not want to read the word of God.
Rejoicing in Grace,
