Bible Question:
After the apostle Paul lists the armor of God, he identifies an offensive weapon offered to the believer - the SWORD. In this passage, the SWORD is identified as The Word of God. Note that it belongs to the Spirit; we are told to take it. In 2 Tim 2:15, Timothy is told to "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." From these Scriptures, is it reasonable to suggest that the accurate handling God's Word requires us to rely upon the Holy Spirit (His power) to wield it? Other Scriptures I have been considering while thinking on these things are: 1 Cor 2:9-16; 2 Tim 1:14 Comments? |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs, Of course the Spirit is indwelling in you. So why can't we wield the sword of the indwelling Spirit, the word of God or perhaps the Spiirt wield the sword of the word through us? Emmaus |
