THE WORD OF GOD

Heb. 4:12

 

“For the word of God is living and active.

Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates

even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;

it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

 

Speaking of the Word, have you considered what else God’s Word says about itself? 

 

·         It is eternal and unchanging (Ps. 119:89; Matt. 5:18; 1 Peter 1:24-25), so we know it is trustworthy. 

·         It is the means of creation (Gen. 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24; Ps. 148:4-6), so we know it is powerful. 

·         It is life giving and life saving (Ps. 119:37), so we know it is gracious. 

·         It is the means to pure and godly living (Ps. 119: 9, 11), so we know it is helpful.

·         It is the source and grounds for our hope (Ps. 119:114), so we know it is encouraging. 

·         It is the source of true enlightenment (Ps. 119:169; Jn. 17:17) because it is truth.

·         Christ is revealed through the Word (Lk. 24:27; Acts 8:35, 18:28), so we know it is revelation. 

·         It is the means of our Christian growth (2 Tim. 3:16-17), so we know it is necessary.
