“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” Hebrews 4:12 NLT
One reason we can find it difficult to love God’s Word is that we don’t realize what it does. The Bible is unlike any other book. How is it different? It is alive… it speaks directly into our lives today.
How is this possible? The Holy Spirit takes God’s perfect Word and applies it into our unique situation right now. God has spoken through His Word, and He still speaks through the Holy Spirit.
The Word of God is like a sharp sword. It brings clear truth into our lives, dividing between right and wrong. His Word goes deep into the core of our being, as it searches our motivations and patterns of thinking. It is His words alone that bring real transformation. He alone is able to penetrate past our excuses, the lies and confusion.
Will you open your life up to the convicting and transforming work of God’s Word? If you knew that there was one book that had the secret to transform your life for the best, wouldn’t you want to read it?
Don’t run from the sword. Run to it.
