The Living Word

The Living Word

Hebrews 4v12-13 (BSB)
For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.  It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

2 Timothy 3v14-17 (BSB)
But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them. From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. 

“The light of the Scripture is a pure light, a clear light, a light without any darkness, a light that does come from God and lead us unto God, not unto the devil.  Surely, therefore, this light of Scripture is the best light, the most excellent light—more excellent than that of revelations and visions, more excellent than that of dreams and immediate voices, more excellent than that of impressions, more excellent than that of the law and light within, more excellent than that of Christian experience, or that of divine providence, or that of human reason.”
