“The Bible, What is it Trying to Say?”
Have you ever wondered what the Bible is trying to say? In the pages of the Bible we learn that God is the author of all life (Gen. 1-2) and His creation proclaims His existence (Job 12:7-10). By listening to creation and the teachings of the Bible one can come to know the true God of the universe. The pages of the Bible maintain that the God of creation cannot lie (Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18). If God cannot lie then humans ought to pay attention to what has been written in His revelation, the Bible (1 Jn. 5:13; J. 20: 30-31). God tells us through his Son Jesus Christ that His, “words will never pass away” (Mt. 24:35). As one reads the Bible they will see that Scripture is powerful, even more powerful than the risen dead (Luke 16:30-31). The Bible has the words that tell of eternal life (Jn. 6:68). Romans 10:17 says it is by Christ’s words that product faith and Hebrews 4:12 states, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of souls and spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
From these scriptures the Bible presents itself as the authority from God, which is meant for people to base their lives on today. 1 John 2:24-25 reads, “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.” The Bible is God’s message to man on how to live now and how to prepare to live in the next life.
We at the church of Christ take the Bible very seriously, we teach from it in our Bible classes, preach from it in our pulpit and encourage every Christian to read it and live by it’s teaching. If you would like to study the Bible with us please give us a call or come to our times of Bible study and worship. Today, open your Bible and read the wonderful words of life. Written by Mark T.
