Word Of God - Is Alive
Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 28, 2026 (message contributor)
The Scriptures are clear ... Crystal clear Quote ... "For the word of God .... is living" Unquote (Hebrews 4:12)
The Scriptures, .... the Word of God, .... is unlike any other book you have ... in your home ... or that is in the library.
The Library of Congress lays claim ... to be the largest library in the world, ... with more than 150 million items on approximately 838 miles of bookshelves.
The collections include more than 32 million books and other printed materials, ... 3 million recordings, ... 15 million photographs, ... 5 million maps, ... and 61 million manuscripts.
Yet among all these volumes ... the only one that lays a claim to being alive and active ... are the Holy Scriptures.
This places The Word of God ... in a unique category ... all to itself.
The word "living" ... is the translation of zon, a present participle of the verb zao "Zah -- O" ... which means "to live, to be alive."
The Word of God is "Zah-O" ... alive, ... actively alive, ... and as the tense indicates, ... constantly alive.
The word of God is no dead letter, ... it is living, ... it is alive.... And it will penetrate you ... separating soul and spirit.
