The Word of God was never given to entertain the flesh or soothe pride.
It was given to expose truth, correct error, and cut straight to the heart.
Scripture does not describe God’s Word as a feather — it describes it as a sword.
📖 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…”
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
That alone teaches us something vital:
If a message never confronts, never corrects, never exposes what is wrong — it is not operating as the Word of God.

📖 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…”

That alone teaches us something vital:

This is why many resist sound doctrine.
Not because it lacks love —
but because truth removes excuses and reveals what the heart wants hidden.
📖 “Men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
John 3:19 (KJV)
Here is the danger Scripture warns us about:
When truth is rejected, people do not become neutral — they seek substitutes.
📖 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.”
2 Timothy 4:3 (KJV)
That teaches an important lesson:
👉 Ear-tickling does not come from the Word of God.
👉 It is what people turn to after they turn away from truth.
God’s Word cuts because it loves.
Correction is not cruelty — it is protection.
📖 “Whom the LORD loveth he correcteth.”
Proverbs 3:12 (KJV)
Comfort without correction may feel peaceful, but Scripture warns it is dangerous.
📖 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
Truth does not flatter.
Truth sanctifies.
📖 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
John 17:17 (KJV)
This is not a harsh message — it is a loving warning.
Because a sword in God’s hand is not meant to destroy the willing, but to save them from deception.
📖 “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort…”
2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)
If the message never challenges you,
never corrects you,
never exposes error —
it may not be truth at all.
💬 Does the Word sharpen you — or only comfort you?
