THE BIBLE: THE GREATEST BOOK

This book contains: The mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. It's doctrines is holy, it's precepts are binding, it's histories are true and it decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you. It's the traveler's map, the pilgrims staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's charter. Here, Heaven is opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good design, and the glory of God it's end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the Judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward faithful labor, and condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

"Tis the book that has for ages,

Lifted man from sin and shame,

That great message on it's pages, Will forever be the same"

Never compare the Bible with other books. Comparison are dangerous. Books speak from the earth; the Bible speaks from Heaven. Never think or say the Bible contains the Word of God. It IS the Word of God. Supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in value, infinite in scope, divine in authorship, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it though. Write it down. Pray it in. work it out. Pass it on. It is the Word of God! (Aurthor Unknown)
