Symbols of the Word of God

A laver to cleanse

Ephesians 5:26 

To make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

A lamp to guide

Psalms 119:105  

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Rain and snow to refresh

Isaiah 55:10  

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater

A sword to cut

Hebrews 4:12  

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

A bow for revenge

Hebrews 3:9  

Where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did.

Power to create faith

Romans 10:17  

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Eternal life

1 Peter 1:23  

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
