The Significance of the ‘Two-Edged Sword’

Question:

What is the meaning of the "two-edged sword" found in the Bible?

Answer:

A double-edged sword has both edges sharpened as opposed to one. Thus it is much easier to for it to cut and penetrate.

Scripture often refers to the word of God as a double-edged sword. It means that the word of God penetrates our souls and cuts through our excuses and sins.
