Bible Question: Explain Hebrew 4:12 |
Bible Answer: Greetings mrsrock! If you input Heb 4:12 in the Questions/Notes on Verse field (upper left in the green bar) you can read what others have posted on this verse. In reading Hebrews 4:12 I am reminded of Eph 6:17. When we look at what the Lord has given to us in Eph 6 - the offensive weapon we have is the "sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God." Who wields this sword? The Spirit. As we read God's Word, the believer receives its benefits - intstruction, correction, reproof and training in righteousness(2 Tim 3:16). It is my opinion that Hebrews 4:12 can also be understood as a means by which God may convict the world of sin. (John 16:7-11)The thoughts and intentions of the heart can only be judged by God. (1 Sam 16:7) Blessings, mommapbs |
