For the Word of God is engaged and alive, and it is capable of dividing bone from sinew; much like a two-edged sword. It can effectively separate soul and spirit, and it comprehends the deepest thoughts of the heart. Nothing in the heavens or the earth is hidden from the sight of God. Everything is laid bare before His eyes; to Whom we will give an account of our thoughts, words, and actions.
Since we have such an amazing High Priest Who ascended into heaven, Christ Jesus, the Son of God, let us cherish this beloved Faith which He has bequeathed to us.
For we do not have a High Priest Who is incapable of empathizing with our weaknesses, but He was tempted in each and every way that we have been tempted, but without giving sway to that temptation and resulting sin.
Let us approach the throne of Grace without the slightest hesitation, so we may receive mercy, and grace to help when there is nowhere else for us to turn.
(Excerpt from the New Testament, Book of Hebrews, Chapter 4, McDonald Paraphrase)
