The Word of God Pt. 1

I believe in my heart of hearts that the Bible is the very Word of God, without which we will not know God Himself, nor know God's will for this earth. We will not know what purpose we were made for, and how He was going to fulfil that purpose.

In it we see the character of God, we see that He is most holy and almighty, yet in His greatness He is motivated by His love for us to create man to have fellowship with Him not because He was lonely but because He wanted us to see His glory, which is better than anything this earth can offer. We see also His graces and mercies in the Old Testament, promising an even better Testament (covenant).

And I will say this, without the Word of God, the church will not know about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ the Son of God, fully God and fully man. Oral traditions would have been marred along the way through time and through men's minds but by God's grace, He inspired men to canonise the new testament, the new covenant, which tells us His way to Salvation from our sinful natures and our sins.

So my dear friends, treasure the written Word of God, hold on to it and go not beyond its teachings, what is written therein is more than enough for our good, do not even try to override it because fearful judgement awaits for those who try. Hold it in the highest regard, live it as best as you can. Know God and live the eternal life now. For John 17:3 says:

And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. - John 17:3 (ESV)

PS: O yes! How can I forget to exhort you! Thank God for the Bible! Yes. Hahaha...
