Topic: God's Transforming Power and Grace Passage: Hebrews 4:12–13

070724...“The Word of God”...Hebrews 4:12-13

Sermon In A Sentence:The Word of God is unique in it’s power to penetrate our heart, accurately discern our inner character, and sanctify us.

Sanctification:
-Spiritual growth, formation, or change
-The process of being set apart & made holy by God’s work through His Spirit inside you
-Progressive separation from sin & greater dedication to God; leading to a changed life that reflects God’s character & purpose

Hebrews 4:12-13...“For the word of God is living & active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul & of spirit, of joints & of marrow, and discerning the thoughts & intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked & exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account”

God’s Word Has Power To Sanctify Us Because:
-It is always timely & relevant
-It cuts to the truth with surgical accuracy

Ephesians 6:17...“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

God’s Word Has Power To Sanctify Us Because:
-It is always timely & relevant
-It cuts to the truth with surgical accuracy
-It functions like a mirror to reveal our heart
-It knows us better than we know ourselves
-It exposes all of our superficial behavior
-It prepares us to give account to God for our life

Hebrews 4:12-13...“For the word of God is living & active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul & of spirit, of joints & of marrow, and discerning the thoughts & intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked & exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account”
