the Word of God serves as a necessary interruption to human life. It both condemns sin and proclaims salvation, compelling believers to confront their spiritual reality. By acknowledging Jesus as Lord, individuals move from a state of guilt to one of deliverance, understanding that the crucifixion was a divine act of love and redemption. This transformative power of the Word fosters a community of faith—the church—where members support one another through confession and grace. Ultimately, letting the Word "get in the way" leads to a life redirected by the Holy Spirit toward truth and eternal purpose.
