For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Hebrews 4:12
The word of God is living and active
The word of God is powerful
The word of God is quick
The word of God is able to discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart
The word of God never comes back empty
but will accomplish what He sends it forth to do
The word of God washes us
The word of God is Jesus
In the beginning was the word
and the word was with God and the word was God
Not just about Jesus, but the Bible tells us He is the word
Though His word is living to us who believe, to those who do not, it is just words
They cannot hear it, live it, breathe it, they are blind to it
The word of God is even foolishness to those who do not believe
Beware that their lack of faith does not chip away at yours
Keep it deep within your heart
Memorize it
Meditate on it
Learn its precepts
Let it become a part of you, live inside of you
and flourish within you
He set His word, which contains His commandments, before us,
even the very heart of God
and we are exhorted to choose life that we may live
This is eternal life we are talking about here, not life on this planet
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
God called people back from the grave with His word
He spake: Lazarus come forth!
And again, Maid, Arise!
Peter, with God’s authority spake: Tabitha Arise!
God spoke the world into existence
From Genesis 1
And God said, Let there be light and there was light
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night…And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
His words are all powerful and they are Life

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:3-6
