The Christian's Only Weapon

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 ESV)

The Bible is the only offensive weapon in a Christian's armoury. It is the sword of the Spirit and can cut between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow and expose our innermost thoughts and desires.

Every Christian should invest time in sword fighting. The Lord used this sword to fend off all three temptations from the devil. And this is still the only weapon we have.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:17 NIV)
