Know Your Bible

It’s not the worlds’ best selling book by accident.

Just think about the overwhelming harmony of the Bible writers. Some 40 writers over a period of 1,500 years wrote the 66 books and there is a unity that does not waver. That alone is a huge contributing factor to the Bible’s uniqueness. It’s hard enough to get a husband and wife who live together to agree on everything and yet these
writers, most never knowing one another because of distance and time wrote with a common thread that is matched by no other source.

No other ancient writing can compare with the Bible. Its accuracy and reliability are beyond remarkable, they are divine. The multitudes of attempts to discredit the Bible and cry foul have all been proven
wrong.

The argument over the oral message passed down from one writer to another has been buried with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the incredible number of papyrus, parchments, and manuscripts that have been unearthed.

The events, names, and places recorded have been verified time and time again. No sooner does a skeptic sound out and they are silenced with stacks of evidence supporting the Holy Scriptures.

The Bible is 99.5 percent pure. This means that the translations from the original languages into other known languages have had little or no variances from the original truth. Scholars have been very careful to handle the Word of God accurately. Yes, Virginia, You can believe
that the Bible is the authentic Word of God.

What about its teachings? Consider the “Golden Rule” learned from the lesson on “The Good Samaritan.” This is one lesson that many have desired to emulate. The founder of J.C. Pennies and how he got his
start in his sales career by working in “The Golden Rule” store out west and how he included this motto in his Pennies franchises is a classic reminder of the power that the Bible has on influencing
people.

What about the countless lives that the Bible has helped? You name it and the number of sinners who have be converted into saints is outstanding.

Know your Bible and let its living power amaze and benefit your life.
