It is very clear to see that the word of God convicts men of their sin. When people look at their lives in the light of God’s Word, they see very quickly the type of person they really are. A lot of people can’t stand someone telling them they are wrong and the Bible points that out in their lives. The word cuts to your soul and makes you see the wrong you are doing.
If we are mature in the Lord we will not be offended when we are quickened by the Word. When the servant of God stands to speak, we should take what he says and apply it to our lives, and not look around and see who else it might apply to. If we judged our lives by what God’s Word has to say, we would live a life that is pleasing in God’s sight. We should use the Word everyday to see if how we are living is according to what we see there.
