4. God’s word, the Bible — speaks!

HOW GOD SPEAKS:
The Bible: is the most sure, reliable, safe way we can know God’s voice. All other “communication channels” need to be tested against God’s word of truth.

Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJV)
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV)

God’s Word:
1. Is living! (a living plant vs a rock — Bible vs any other book)
2. Is powerful! (God’s word has energy in it — it is active! — like an active ingredient in a medicine or toothpaste)
3. Is an extremely sharp two-edged sword! (see also Eph. 6:17)
• It is a weapon of battle — soldiers could pierce armor with a sharp, pointy, 2-edged sword. The Holy Spirit uses the word of God to battle falsehood, deception, pride, sin, spiritual uncleanness, etc.
• It is so sharp that it can open up any part of our flesh or spirit and expose what is there.
