ALIVE!

HEBREWS 4: 12

"For the Word of God is  ALIVE  and powerful.  It is sharper the sharpest two edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.  It expresses our innermost thoughts and desires."

Agnostics and atheists proclaim that God is dead.  They may even believe that there is no God who ever lived.  What do you believe?  Is God dead or ALIVE?  Believer's prove to themselves every day that God is ALIVE in His Word and kept promises.  God speaks to us so many ways, the heavens declare His Glory, the Word guides our lives and teaches us about Him.  God is full of power and life and has an energizing and activating effect on our every day lives.  The Lord Jesus Christ answers questions about life and gives us peace and contentment no matter what the circumstances of our life might be.  The Word of God shows us the depth and endless knowledge that can be found if we examine His Word closely.  The Word of God penetrates to the dividing line of our very breath and life.  Its immortal spirit is in the deepest part of our nature and helps us analyze our every thought.  

If something is dead it is no longer of any value and is buried and put away.  The Bible, the Word of God is the most printed book in history and has never stopped being translated and reproduced.  It is the most reliable history of man we have.  It is trustworthy and true and has been proven correct over and over again throughout the ages.  It has the answer to any question that man may have.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Jesus Christ.  The Word is God and just like Jesus Christ who overcame death and the grave, it is ALIVE today and forever.  Only fools say in their heart that there is no god.  They will be enlightened at the time of judgement even though it will be too late for them.  

Agnostics and atheists are fools and they do not even have the beginning of wisdom which is the fear of God.  So the truth is that the only ones to be dead and stay dead eternally are those that deny the Christ.  God is not dead, but they are!  When they refuse to accept the living God into their lives they condemn themselves to eternal damnation.  Remember that the One Truth Today is that "the Word of God is ALIVE and powerful.  The real question has to do with each of us personally.  Are you alive or dead?  If you do not have the Lord in your life you are dead and will never be alive until you accept Him into your heart and believe His Word.  Do you want to be ALIVE?
