Hebrews 4:12 Some of God’s children lay great emphasis on rightly dividing the word of truth. Indeed, Scripture itself tells us we are to do this (2 Tim. 2:15), but it also tells us His Word is to divide us. Where we may be wrong is in seeking to divide His Word first before we have allowed it to do its work on us! Are we aware of this living, powerful character of God’s Word? Does it deal with us like a sharp, two-edged sword? Or do we handle it as though it were just one more book to be studied and analyzed? The strange thing about Scripture is that it does not aim to make us understand doctrines in a systematic way. Perhaps we think it would have been better if Paul and the others had got together to provide a detailed handbook of Christian doctrines. But God did not permit this. How easily He could have settled some of our theological arguments, but it seems He loves to confuse those who only approach the Bible intellectually! He wants to preserve men from merely getting hold of doctrines. He wants His truth to get hold of them.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Watchman Nee" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/watchman-nee/the-word-of-god-is-living-and-active-and-sharper-than-any-two-edged/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a0/watchman-nee-1561_bible_the-word-of-god-is-living-and-active-and_1535267.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a0/watchman-nee-1561_bible_the-word-of-god-is-living-and-active-and_1535267.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a0/watchman-nee-1561_bible_the-word-of-god-is-living-and-active-and_1535267.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the…” — Watchman Nee", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/truth-scripture/watchman-nee/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/truth-scripture/watchman-nee/", "name": "Truth Scripture Quotes by Watchman Nee", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/truth-scripture/watchman-nee/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4a0/watchman-nee-1561_bible_the-word-of-god-is-living-and-active-and_1535267.jpg" }, "description": "1 Truth Scripture quotes by Watchman Nee.
