The Word of God Is:

1. A Mirror - To Show Us Ourselves
(James 1:23-25 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,)

2. A Hammer - To Break The Will
(Jer. 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?)

3. A Fire - To Melt The Heart
(Jer. 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?)

4. A Sword - To Pierce The Conscience
(Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.)

5. A Seed - To Quicken The Soul
(1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.)

6. A Laver - To Cleanse The Way
(Eph. 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,)

7. A Light - To Show The Path
(Psa 119: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.)
