The Bible
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:8
Today's Bible Reading: 1 Peter 1:22-25.
The Bible’s message is straightforward. No writer changed the message to put himself or his friends in a better light. The sins of mankind are frankly admitted, and life is presented as it actually is.
Critics claim the Bible’s full of forgery, fiction, and unfulfilled prophecy; but the findings of archaeology have corroborated rather than denied the Biblical data.
The Christian faith is not dependent upon human knowledge and scientific advancement. The inability to comprehend fully the mysteries of God does not in any way curtail the Christian faith, but enhances it. The Bible is the greatest document of the human race, and remains a bulwark of national, personal, and spiritual freedom.
The Bible is believed by people from all walks of life, from kings and queens, to the common man, from the university professor, to the small child.
The first requirement placed upon the critic is that they read every page of the Bible. The critic should also know something of the Bible’s history and the miracle of its writing. Biblical history is fascinating and makes us appreciate the Book, which has been preserved for us to this day.
Prayer
Heaven God, thank You for the Bible, it's knowledge, wisdom and guidance; but more than anything, I thank You that it contains the Gospel. I Praise You in Christ's name. Amen.
