God has revealed Himself in His Son, Jesus Christ, and we get our knowledge of Christ out of the Bible.
The Bible was written by 40 writers, over a period of 1,600 years, in 66 books. And the great theme from one end of the Bible to the other is redemption—God’s love for the human race and God redeeming man and bringing man back to Himself after man had rebelled against God. That’s what the Bible is all about.
Down through the years, this Bible has been ridiculed, burned, refuted, destroyed, but it lives on. It is the anvil that has worn out many hammers. Most books are born, live a few short years, then go the way of all the earth; they’re forgotten. But not the Bible. The Bible is preserved. It lives on.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Father, thank You that Your Word will stand forever and that it reveals Jesus from Genesis through Revelation. Please increase my desire to read and study the Bible so that I may continually draw closer to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
