The Importance of the Word of God
Dr RJ Sing
“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 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.”
The Word of God is food to nourish the inward man. That is why it is so vitally important to study and meditate on the scriptures, to go to church and find yourself available, where the Word of God is being preached. The Word of God pierces through the body and opens up the inner most recesses of the Soul, (Feelings, Passions, Desires, Appetites) and Mind, (Thoughts, and Intents of the inner most being). Every thought, desire and intent of every creature of God is constantly under His eyes. God demands absolute truth in the inward parts, and absolute justice and honesty in all dealings between fellowmen. It is in the hidden parts of you that God wants Righteousness and not only outwardly.
Let us look at facts about the Word of God. The Word of God is full of Vigor. It is Powerful and Active. The Word of God is Effectual. The Word of God is Sharp. It divides the joint and marrow. It discerns thoughts. It pierces even to divide asunder the Soul and Spirit. It discerns the intents of the heart. Now you can understand the Power of the Word of God. It changes all types of situations. The Word of God can change everything you are facing.
