The Good
Book....aka The Holy Bible....is indeed "The God Book", is God's love letter
to us...to teach us, reprimand us, guide us, and give us hope for every issue
of life.
From Pastor John Collins:
“This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Joshua 1:8 (NKJV).
The Holy Bible was written for you and
for me. It is a collection of writings from
many different men that was inspired by God for our
benefit. Jesus came
to fulfill what
has been written and
there is yet more to come as well. The purpose and the point of knowing what has
been written is
not only to be aware of the signs and
the things to
come, but to learn from
what has been and to know how
to conduct ourselves now.
Our lives are meant to honor God,
our Creator and
our Lord Jesus Christ.
The work that
was done at Calvary does
not negate the responsibility that
we must take for the choices we
make in life. We are required to act on our faith and
we need to know just what is acceptable to God and
what is not. It is written in the bible.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17 (NKJV).
How much effort do you put forth to know the word
of God? How much time have you devoted in your life to coming to know
what treasures lie
within those pages? The stories and
the examples that are there are for us to learn from, to gain insight and
wisdom and encouragement to carry on.
Let your choices in life reflect a heart that is devoted to
Christ. Let your efforts include that good book. Let your days be full of
interest in the knowledge of God. Let your heart belong to God and let your will
submit to His. Come to know His word and value its content because your eternal
soul depends upon it. Take the time to open your Bibles and reap what you sow.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV).
