The Only Thing that Heals What It Cuts

The Word of God is the only thing that heals what it cuts.
Hebrews 4

Every wound it opens the word of God can mend. Wash it out with the truth. Stop the bleeding in love. Stitch it up with forgiveness. Seal it with the Spirit.

The Spirit of God is in the world to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment (John 16: 8). For the Christian that means the Spirit will prepare us for that battle (Ephesians 6:13): the battle to cut and heal the souls of men. The Word will then cut us first, opening us to truth and righteousness. The Word will prepare us and shield us through the gospel of faith in Jesus Christ. We will be covered and crowned with salvation, interceding and intervening to bring the soundness of the Scripture to others.

But, first in what ways do you need to be cut open today? In what ways do you need to be healed?
