They have power to kill and to make alive. With a word, God spoke creation into place. With a word, Lazarus was brought forth from the tomb alive. Words are powerful. God’s Word is even more powerful. As the author of Hebrews is describing the word of God, he says, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Heb. 4:12)” The word of God works. It accomplishes its purpose. It can see between the lines. It can pierce through even the hardest hearts and minds. God’s word is a force to be reckoned with. It is God’s Word that works to bring us from unbelief to belief, death to life. God’s Word is our life and salvation.
