More Precious — Part 2
“The word of God is not bound” (2 Timothy 2:9).
The Hindu jeweler was absolutely astounded; he spoke to many about his “find” and constantly inquired, “Why did I not know this before? Why did nobody every tell me of this great news?”
The Word of God took root and grew in his heart, by the power of the Holy Spirit. “Surely,” he said, “this means me…whosoever…this salvation is for me and it is mine for the taking.”
By faith in Christ Jesus he accepted it; he told others of it; until when a missionary went to that place some time later, expecting to find only heathens in spiritual darkness, he found a large gathering of Indian Christians.
This true story illustrates the power of the Bible, God’s Word, and the truth of the verse that states: “For the word of God is quick [living], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
