Hebrews 4:12-13
The Living Bible
12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
The Bible is like no other book...The word of God, is the Bible...The Bible is Jesus Christ in print...The Bible is evidence of God...God's word is alive...God's word is active...Scripture is sharper than any double edged sword...
His word penetrates and is so powerful that it divides our soul, our spirit, our joints, and our marrow...Our soul is our relationship and closeness to ourselves...Our spirit is our relationship and closeness to God...His word makes us feel divided...This division and this divided feeling, is because of our sins...His word makes us realize we sin...Over time in our lives, we all sin...These sins can become deeply rooted and keep us from Him...This is that division of our soul and spirit...His word makes us realize, who we really are...The Bible is a mirror and it reveals us...Nothing is hidden from Him...He is this mirror...There is no disguise or thought that we can do or have that He does not see...
It is difficult for us to realize that the Bible is alive and active...Most of the difficulty is our daily lives...Life becomes complex and complicated...We go about each day living our lives...Each of us live a life that is busy and has a routine, or something we go about doing everyday...It may be a job, watching TV, exercising, eating, or something...Something, we do everyday takes up our awakening hours...Whatever this something is, we can drift from the live and active Jesus back to our daily lives and our lives and its complexities and complications...It is hard to keep focused on Him in these complexities...
Nothing in our lives is ever hidden from God...He will see and has seen our entire life...He will forget nothing...We will be perfectly judged...In the end everything will be open and laid before His eyes and then we will give account...
