Hebrews 4:12 English Standard Version (ESV) 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.
Did the first century church understand that bone marrow is the blood factory of our bodies? Probably not. God knew and He authored these words that give us deeper understanding than just pieces parts.
We could not live without bone marrow. Certain cancer treatments require bone marrow transplants as a cure. We did not discover that for the longest time, but God always knew because He designed us.
It is so easy to glaze over scriptures with acceptance without coming to a sincere appreciation of everything God has put into motion.
Think about that as we do our bible studies and come to a deeper appreciation of God’s Word, Jesus Christ that dwells in our hearts by faith. This transforms the notion of Christ on the throne of heaven into a living and active part of our lives. His blood shed for us to give us life by faith is our spiritual bone marrow.
Psalm 139:13 English Standard Version (ESV) For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
God is an active agent in our lives in ways we take for granted and doing so we fail to give Him praise and honor in even the hidden parts that cause us to live by faith. Science has given us a better understanding of how our bodies function all the way down to individual strands of our DNA. God knew all that when He knitted us together with those DNA strands.
We are not an accident of nature.
If we accept that we are not an accident then we should understand the grand design that gives place for God to be an active partner in living by faith in Christ.
It is not a happy accident that God has made Himself known to us. It is a valued part of His grand design.
Those antichrists around us deny the designer.
We honor Him in how we live.
