Basics of the Bible

 

Basic knowledge and foundations of the Christian faith … what does the Bible say, God’s Word, God’s manual for man to know and implement his will and standards?

The Bible consists of 66 books by 40 authors and is written over a period of over 1500 years. The authors were shepherds, fishermen, kings, a doctor, a scribe, a cup bearer, and prophets. It is a collection of literature of truth.

According to 2 Timothy 3: 10-17, the Bible is God’s infallible Word. Thus, the book of all books should be our # 1 priority. What has the highest authority in a human life is its God. God’s Word is not opinion-oriented and thus subject to the changing circumstances and moods of a person. God’s Word is the truth and Jesus is the truth. Thus, by understanding the Word and knowing who Jesus is, we will be able to distinguish truth from falsehood as we grapple with the contents of the Bible. Only in this way can we recognize how God is and thinks. According to John 1 verse 1, God and His Word are one.

God does not change, so we may build our house of life, firm as a rock it will stand even when the storms of life come you are strong and look at the truth, which has the power to change you and your circumstances for the better. The word acts like spiritual food and makes you grow in faith through love. The Word sets you free, makes you whole when we live in it and follow it.

Read God’s Word, the Bible … spend time in it … there you will find everything you need ..

Prayer:

Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit I wholeheartedly thank you that I may get to know you better … from today I would like to spend more time with the words you speak to me through the Bible … please forgive me where I have been in the past neglected. I realize I need more truth.
