The Holy Bible is truly an amazing book!
The Holy Bible is the Holy Book: the only holy book on the face of the earth, and it is a sacred book.
The Bible is a gift from God to us: freely given that we may freely receive. The cost to you for all of the information in Bible is absolutely zero.
To begin, the Bible is a collection of many books, from many authors, and all of the writers were inspired by the Holy Spirit to dip their pens in the inkhorn and to write, "Thus saith the Lord." And having been inspired by the Holy Spirit, we can then believe that the Bible is God-breathed. God spoke to the writers and the writers recorded the words from the mind and the voice of Almighty God.
Translated into more than 1200 languages, all of the books of the Bible are relatively short, the chapters are short, the verses are short, and, for the most part, even the sentences are short sentences.
In this revelation of truth from God, the Lord gives it to us straight, holding back nothing: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He tells us of things past, things present, and things future because He wants us to know truth: which includes the good, the bad, and also the ugly. In short, God tells like it is. This way, you will know how you stand with God, but also you will know how He stands with you.
The Bible is not complex; neither is it difficult to understand. You do not need to be a "rocket scientist" nor an Einstein to understand the Bible.
The writers of the Bible were simple, everyday people, just like you and me, yet they were people who believed and served God.
For example, having been raised in Pharoah's house in Egypt, Moses was highly educated, and he wrote the first five books of the Bible;
David, having been a shepherd, became a King of Israel and wrote the Psalms;
Nehemiah was the cupbearer to a Persian king;
Esther was a Jewish lady who became queen of the Persian king, Ahasuerus, and she wrote the Book of Esther, which is still read today in Israel during the annual Feast of Purim;
Paul, fluent in Greek and Hebrew, was educated under Gamaliel the Elder of Israel, a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law;
Matthew was a tax collector by profession while Peter, James, and John had been fishermen.
God drew stories out of the lives of people, from which came the books of the Bible, so that the writers were God's journalists on the ground and thereby experiencing the stories they wrote; and God, as Editor-in-Chief, printed their stories in His Heavenly Newspaper for all the world to read.
We, also, are experiencing life as journalists on the ground, and are we "writing" about our experiences. Would He print your story in the Heavenly Newspaper if you wrote a paper and filed your report?
Your life is just as important to God as the life of any person on the face of the earth, and your life is also just as important to God as the lives of the men and women who wrote the Bible.
In your own life, God can reveal truth to you from your experiences if you will open your mind and your heart to Him and to His leadership. He will reveal truth to you in your environment if you are open to Him.
The people who wrote the Bible were ministers of God as well as His messengers in order to reach people with truth from God that they may be saved from their sin by the Lord Jesus Christ. Our writings will not replace the Bible, but they can become testimonials of His love and grace, which is also important to God.
So then, no matter if you are brickmason, an engineer, a college professor, a shrimper or a baker, and, no matter if you live in the United States, or Russia, or China, you and your life are important to God.
If you do not have a Bible, you can click www.bible.com and read it where you are living now.
Amen.
