Tipos Y Figuras De La Palabra De Dios ...
Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Mar 23, 2010 (message contributor)
TIPOS Y FIGURAS DE LA PALABRA DE DIOS (translation follows)
ESPADA. La palabra de Dios es capas de llegar hasta los lugares mas escondidos y profundos del corazón como una espada o bisturí que penetra y opera dejado al descubierto el problema que nadie ve.
Porque la palabra de Dios es viva y eficaz, y más cortante que toda espada de dos filos; y penetra hasta partir el alma y el espíritu, las coyunturas y los tuétanos, y discierne los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón. (Hebreos 4:12)
MARTILLO. La Escritura es como un martillo que quebranta hasta el corazón mas endurecido. ¿No es mi palabra... como martillo que quebranta la piedra? Jeremías. 23: 29b
FUEGO. La palabra de Dios es como un fugo que va quemando toda impureza e ideas erróneas que haya en nuestro corazón purificando nuestra mente. ¿No es mi palabra como fuego, dice Jehová? Jer 23: 29
PAN. El hombre tiene un lado fuertemente espiritual en su naturaleza que la Biblia llama “Alma” y debe ser alimentada. La Palabra de Dios es el alimento (pan) del alma; Jesús dijo:
No sólo de pan vivirá el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios. Mat 4: 4
LLUVIA. Porque como desciende de los cielos la lluvia y la nieve, y no vuelve allá, sino que riega la tierra, y la hace germinar y producir, y da semilla al que siembra, y pan al que come, así será mi palabra que sale de mi boca; no volverá a mí vacía, sino que hará lo que yo quiero, y será prosperada en aquello para que la envié. Isaías 55: 10,11
ESPEJO. El espejo nos refleja tal y como somos, nos dice la verdad, no anda con rodeos; si nos miramos mal, no vacila en dejárnoslo saber. Decir la verdad es una de las características de la Biblia, pues ella nos dice exactamente lo que somos y lo que estamos haciendo bien o mal.
Porque si alguno es oidor de la palabra pero no hacedor de ella, éste es semejante al hombre que considera en un espejo su rostro natural. Santiago 1: 23
Todo esto y mas es la Biblia, Que vas a hacer con ella?

TYPES AND FIGURES OF THE WORD OF GOD
SWORD. The Word of God is in layers, reaching the most hidden places deep in the heart, like a sword or knife that penetrates and works to expose the problem that no one sees. (Hebrews 4:12)
HAMMER. The Scripture is like a hammer that breaks up the most hardened heart. (Jeremiah. 23: 29b)
FIRE. The Word of God burns away all impurity and misconceptions that we have in our hearts, purifying our mind. (Jeremiah 23:29)
PAN. Man has a strong spiritual side in his nature which the Bible calls "Alma" and must be fed. The Word of God is food (bread) of the soul. (Matthew 4:4)
RAIN. For as descended from the heavens the rain and snow, and do not return there but water the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word that comes from My mouth will not return to me empty, but will do what I want, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent. (Isaiah 55: 10-11)
MIRROR. The mirror reflects us as we are. It tells the truth with no bones. If we look bad, it does not hesitate to let us know. Telling the truth is one of the characteristics of the Bible, for it tells us exactly what we are and what we are doing right or wrong. (James 1:23)
All this and more is the Bible. What are you going to do with it?
