The Bible!

                                                 
Many books have been written, but there is only ONE which towers over every one documented. One Book that has done more than any other to change the world. That book is the Bible ~ the Word of God spoken through God's chosen writer's. Jesus, the Son of God, asks us to believe this Word.

"In the begnning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:1

We are given God's Word, the Bible, which testifies of Jesus. By reading and studying the Scriptures, by turning to them in all of life's circumstances, we find guidance and comfort.

"For what saith the scripture?" Romans 4:3

Decision upon decision! We are called on to make them every day! When the Lord was confronted with questions and needed to make decisions based on them, there was one source on which He never failed to draw: the Holy Scriptures! When we have questions or in times of confusion in not knowing what path to take, there is a question we can ask ourselves: "What does the Scripture say?" The Bible is our ONLY reference!

You may hear someone say, "I don't know what the Bible says, but I think...." This applies to many questionable situations. It seems that more and more people are making judgments and decisions based on their own reason, even their own feelings and desires. They tend to forget that He, who made the heaven and earth and all that is in them, including human beings, has given us a set of guidelines. We are to follow them if we are to obtain happiness and avoid much of the unhappiness we bring on ourselves.


"Mine eyes fail for thy Word, Saying, when wilt thou comfort me?" Psalm 119:82

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive." Ephesians 4:14

Wind direction and speed are important parts of weather observations. The wind can change abruptly, and some manmade religious doctrines change about as often as the wind. Some messages seem more appealing to our sinful nature than the doctrines found in God's Word. However, the Bible is the Word of God, against which we should compare every human teaching.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105

There is no other book in the world like the Bible. It alone, was given by inspiration of God. The original manuscripts were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek. Every word of every sentence was put there through the guidance of God.

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2Peter 1:21

Application: In the Bible, we find guidance for life ~ for a happy marriage, uprightness in work, for right relationships in our daily lives, and so much more. Above all, in the Bible we find Jesus Christ! It tells the story of his life, death and resurrection! Narrow down your reading material to just one Book ~ the #1 Best Seller! The Bible! ~ And do as
