Two-edged Sword

Two-edged Sword

"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 of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb 4:12 KJV)

The word of God is like a two-edged sword. It can pierce your spirit and soul. It can bring quickly great sorrow to your heart and mind. The good news is that it can also bring great joy in the knowing that even in our sins God loves us. He loves us enough to send his only begotten Son to die for our sins that we might be reconciled to Him now and forever.

That two-edged sword is a mighty sword bringing both death and life to our souls and spirits.

God's Peace - Pr. J.

Two Edged Sword

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 of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12 KJV)

In battle, the two-edge sword is a tool of destruction. It can also bring about healing. When men were wounded, the sword was placed into a hot fire and then placed on the wound to close the wound by forming a scab. This would help the wound to heal. 

The word of God is like a two-edged sword. It will destroy any notion that we are above reproach even while it brings healing to our guilty consciences. The word of God wounds and then... it heals the wounded soul.

Do not fear the word of God no matter what it might expose in your life that needs to be changed; that needs to be healed. New life does not begin until there is a death to the old one. 

The word of God will bring healing and wholeness to your soul.

God's Peace - Pr. J.
