The word of God.

Today I want to focus on Hebrews 4:12. This verse is pretty strong and talks about the word of God. People usually see Christians using the Bible as a rule book and not more than that. The Bible though is not just a book like any other book. First of all it was inspired by God and everything in it is like a guide to be better here in the world and to be more like Christ. 

Hebrews 4:12 even says that the word of God is active and alive! It is not just writing in papers, it has life and we see it work around us everyday, it is active. Everything in it has an effect on our lives if we read it. It is edifying to our souls,and spirits. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts. 

Since it is sharper than a double-edged sword it digs deep in us. If we just read it and do not put it into practice then we are not really doing anything. If we read it and put it in to practice then it serves a purpose in us and gives us life. I want to read the word of God and put it into practice. I want it to be alive and active in me, and to be my guide in life.
