The Word can not be chained

Although St Paul seems to be in a difficult situation, he rejoices in knowing that the truth of the gospel could not be restrained! Even from his cell and in chains, Paul communicated God's truth that influenced Timothy, his congregation, and other early churches, and became part of the New Testament. Still today as well, the word of God given through Paul continues to impact lives around the world. It is the word of life; it is the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, who is our freedom. Not even the darkness of the tomb and the power of death could keep him in captivity. When the word is preached, it is his Good news of our salvation which is proclaimed.

The letter to the Hebrews 4:12 teaches that, "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
There is no situation, no power, no condition, no circumstance, that can chain the word of God. The word of God is freedom and it is for freedom that Christ has set us free (Galatians5:1)
