THE BIBLE

IN the beginning was the Word(Logos in Greek), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. .......There are, besides, many other things that Jesus did, but if they were all described in detail, I suppose the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.

THE BIBLE contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read the Bible to be wise, believe the Bible to be safe, and practice the Bible teachings to be holy. The Bible contains light to direct your soul, food to support you, and comfort to cheer your spirit.

THE BIBLE is the traveler's map. the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's weapon, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.

CHRIST is its grand subject, our good, the design, and the glory of God its end.

THE BIBLE should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read the Bible slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. The Bible is a mine of true wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. The Bible is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. The Bible involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour of obedience in love, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

THE BIBLE is about your CREATOR and you and others. The Bible, the universal blueprint of life. IN the beginning was the Word(Logos in Greek), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This is the One who was in the beginning with God. Through Him everything came into being and without Him nothing that exists came into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it.
