The Word Of God Is Alive And Active

For the word of God is alive 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. Nothing 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.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Hebrews 4:12-16

In our relationship with God, we experience a far greater level of exposure and accountability than we ever have. His Word is like a sharp, two-edged sword, and it penetrates to our innermost level.

Because Jesus our Savior experienced our weaknesses and temptations and did not sin, we can “approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

We don’t need to fear Him but can be assured we’ll find grace when we come to Him.

No part of our lives is hidden from God’s grace and power.
