This document discusses using the Bible as a tool for Christian counseling. It argues that Christians often use God's word as a weapon to criticize others rather than a means of encouragement. The Bible should be viewed as a double-edged sword that exposes our own sins through God's grace. Christians need a "righteousness consciousness" focused on their identity in Christ rather than a "sin consciousness." Speaking God's word of grace, love, and truth can change hearts and circumstances by giving hope and manifesting faith.
