The Grace-filled Word.

  In every word of the Savior there is much that is supernatural and full of grace; and this is

what sheds grace on the soul of man when the word of Christ visits it.

  Therefore the Holy Apostle calls the whole structure of the house of salvation: “The word of

the grace of God” (Acts 20:32).

  Like a living grace-filled power, the word of God has a wonder-working and life-giving ef-

fect on a man, so long as he hears it with faith and receives it with faith (I Thess. 2:13).

  Everything is defiled by sin, but everything is cleansed by the word of God and prayer .

everything . all creation from man on down to a worm (I Tim 4:5).

  By the Truth which carries in itself and by the Power which it has in itself, the word of God

is sharper than any sword and pierces to the point of dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow,

and discerns the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb. 4:12). Nothing remains secret before it

or for it.
