Hebrews 4:12-13
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. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
What many of us do not know is that, God is alive. We can't see Him but it doesn'tmean He isn't here. He is here, where we are. Most of the time we behave as though He isn't here but that does not make Him absent here and present somewhere else. The words that come out of His mouth are not words of death but words of life. Those words give life, eternal life!
Eternal life in Christ comes into our spirit, soul and body. God's word is powerful. It judges all the motives of our hearts. It stops us from acting out of the sinful nature of the Devil in us, if we haven't put it to death.We can only put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in us with the powerful two-edged sword which is also the sword of the Spirit. God's word is powerful and it has the power to destroy the acts of the sinful nature of the Devil in us forever before eternal life could fill our total beings. God's word is the sword of the Spirit because the Lord Jesus Christ warned us that He must return to the Father in Heaven so that God the Holy the Holy Spirit will come to this earth and do the work of convicting us of our sins and the punishment involved with obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you.
John 16:7-11
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I
am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come
to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to
sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in
regard to sin, because men
do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this
world now stands
condemned.
