Heb 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.(NAS)
In Sunday school today, the lesson was on these verses and those preceding it. The word of God is a powerful thing. It is able to tell us the good or evil motivations behind our thoughts and actions. Reading the Word lets us know how we are doing spiritually because it opens us up and looks inside the heart. That is why the metaphor of the sword is used here.
