What
Is The Holy Bible?
The
Bible is the most important book that has ever
written. It is a gift to us from God himself, full
of knowledge and wisdom.
It
is true that styles and tastes have changed, yet
through history people have always recognized the
Bible's uniqueness. They treat it with a special
reverence. Strangely, even people who value the Bible
often fail to read it.
Most
Americans honestly believe the Bible to be from God.
Polls reveal that only a small percentage of Americans
can name basic Biblical facts; such as four of the Ten
Commandments.
The
Bibles are sitting somewhere on a shelf or a coffee
table impressive to look at but remain unread.
For
everything that was written in the past was written to
teach us, so that through endurance and the
encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. Romans
15:4 (NIV)
Why
Read The Bible?

Unless
a person communicates with you either in speech,
gestures or facial expressions you can't get to know
him or her. What goes on behind the mask of skin
will always remain a mystery.
God,
too, was a mystery until he broke his silence! He
spoke once, and all creation sprang to life - quasars,
oceans, whales, giraffes, orchids, and beetles. God
spoke again, and this time the Word took the form of a
man, Jesus Christ.
Many
Christians mention repeatedly of their guilt about not
reading the Bible consistently. They believe in the
Bible... expect to find help there, yet do not read
the Bible as often as they should.
