13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

(Hebrews 4:12–13 (NKJV) 12 For the word (Logos) of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Since the scripture (the sword) is a ‘living and active and sharper than any two-edge sword, … it reflects the blows of the enemy. To help see a difference note the SENSE line of both: In this case “word” is translated from the Greek word “ Logos” – meaning: General statements or messages…. Saving faith does not come from believing just any truth of Scripture, but from believing that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world and trusting in His death to cleanse our own sins.ġ5Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, £ a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word (Logos) of truth. It is not from just any part of Scripture that men come to faith, but from those parts that declare the gospel. Maybe more clearly translated Romans 10:17 could read: “faith comes from hearing, and hearing comes by a word of God” (emphasis added). Offensively, as well as defensively, the use of God’s Word needs to be specific in order to be effective. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) – God’s word needs to be specific in order to be effective….ġ7 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Like Jesus in the wilderness where it took specific spiritual truth to counter specific satanic falsehoods. Greek Word “Rhema” (word) here is emphasizing the precision that comes by knowledge and understanding of specific truths. Rhema (word) – refers to individual words or particular statements. Logos (word) – refers to general statements or messages…. The Greek word for “word” in this case is rhema (not Logos) as two different words are used that can be translated “word”, but they carry a different meaning…. THINK about ways you might find the action in your life!ġ7and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 4:4, 7, 10) There would be nothing wrong with looking at “the sword of the Spirit” being an offensive weapon when one is taking the lead toward some wrong idea or action. Jesus used the scripture each time to contradict the devil’s word. The sword of the Spirit (God’s Word) is first of all a defensive weapon – deflecting the blows of an opponent – against the onslaughts of Satan. Quote: John MacArthur Commentary on Ephesiansįrom that BASE – will look at different scripture references to show some possible conclusions: The faithful believers of Revelation 12 “overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony” (v. That is why Paul counseled Timothy, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth” (2 Tim. Like Jesus did in the wilderness, we need to use specific scriptural truths to counter specific satanic falsehoods. The apostle is therefore not talking here about general knowledge of Scripture, but is emphasizing again the precision that comes by knowledge and understanding of specific truths. “The term Paul uses here for word is not logos, which refers to general statements or messages, but is rhēma, which refers to individual words or particular statements. May this information help you to make a conclusion about the difference between Logos and Rhema.
