NASB | Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
Subject: The Word excites, your Faith grows! |
Bible Note: This scripture is like a parable to explain the word of God. The word or the scripture is quick, that word is the same word quicken or to make alive, or living. The word of God is alive, powerful. It is powerful because it gives us victory in every area of our lives. When the enmy comes and says no body loves you, you should kill yourself and die; the word of God says for God loved you so much that He sent His only Son to die for you so that you can have a fufilling abundant life and you now use the word over the enemy when he says nobody loves you and you say the word which will overpower him "God loves me". So the word is quick and powerful and sharper than any 2 edged sword. This is a similie like in literature, you know a discription using like or as. Imagine the sharpest knife, like on that Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner movie where the he throws up a peice of silk and it lands on the knife and the knife is so sharp it slices the peice of silk into with no effort. Well this is how sharp we are talking. The word of is so sharp it reach deep into you heart seperate the mess of the world from the truth of Gods word in you heart and you know with knives that sharp you dont even feel pain. God is so good. And the word will sift like when your grandmother makes cakes and she sifts the flower to bake and the sifter catches all the lumps allowing the good flower to be seperated for baking and the lumpy flower to either be thinned out or dumped. When you allow the word of God in your heart this is what happens. All the bad gets worked out and all the good in your heart is used for God to work with. I hope this is a little more simple and understandable way of seeing the word of God. |
