And Matthew Henry was one of the commentators who did exhaustive look at the Bible verse per verse. Matthew Henry wrote that the Word of God “convinces powerfully, converts powerfully and comforts powerfully. It makes a soul that has long been proud to be humble; and a perverse spirit to be meek and obedient. Sinful habits that are become as it were natural to the soul, and rooted deeply in it are separated and cut off by this sword. It will discover to men their thoughts and purposes, the vileness of many, the bad principles they are moved by, the sinful ends act to.” Download Matthew Henry Bible Commentary app now and enjoy a deeper study, reflection, and meditation of God’s Word for a deeper communication and fellowship with Holy Spirit.
