The powerful work of God’s Word!
God pierces my conscience with the sword of the Spirit (Acts 2:37; Eph. 6:17),
shattering my stubborn heart with words like a hammer (Jere. 23:29; Heb. 3:15),
melting my cold heart with words like fire (Jere. 23:29),
leading me to confess and repent of my sins (Mt. 3:6, 8),
transforming and renewing me (Rom. 12:2).
