ALIVE AND ACTIVE # 6

 

"For the Word of God is alive and active. 
sharper than any double-edged sword,
 
it penetrates even to dividing soul
and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart. 
(Hebrews 4:12  NIV)

He came and preached peace to you, 
to you who were far away
and peace to those who,
to those who were near.

Consequently, you are no longer
foreigners and strangers, 
but fellow citizens with God’s people
and also members of His household
