Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful,and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and the joints and morrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart:"
The word of God is a name for Christ. But it is also the scriptures, the written word of God, but the Lord Jesus is never separated from them. He indeed is the substance of the written word. Scripture is what it is, because Jesus himself embodies himself in them. He comes in the vol. of the book. It is the instrumnet by which we are set free from the bondage of sin and death, but by this same instrument the world will be judged and condemned. It is the truth which makes us free,yet because of unbelief all are not free. Many wonder aimlessly in a vast wilderness, a prisoner of doubt, not trusting or believing God's word. It is the living active word which meets every man where he is that all might be saved.
God's word judges our thoughts, works, actions and everything about us, that we might experience his peace and enter his rest and salvation.The help we have from the Lord is his word, our sword, and power. We must first reverence the word truly as spoken by God. Then his word is quick, and quacking, it is life and it creates life wherever it comes. It is a living and incorruptable seed which can never be destroyed. It is powerful; it powerfully convicts, converts, comforts and It pulls down strong holds. It has the power to raise us to great heights of holiness and happiness. His word is sharpe, it cuts all over, it cuts and wounds all who touch it; it kills self righteousness, sin and unbelief. It cuts going out and coming in. It cuts deep removing sinful habits away from the soul, that have become the nature of sinful man. Precision cuts, dividing the joints and marrow without damaging the bone. This word will cut the lust from the flesh, and like a lazor will remove the lust from the eye.
This word is revealing, a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, revealing even the most secret thoughts and design. This word will turn a sinner inside out, and let him see all that is in his heart. It has the power to turn a sinner into a saint. It is the power of God.
