A  TRIBUTE  TO  THE  BIBLE The Bible is not an amulet, a charm, a fetish or a book that will work wonders by its very presence. It is a book that will work wonders in every life, here and hereafter, if acted upon and obeyed in faith and sincerity. It is God's inspired revelation of the origin and destiny of all things, written in the simplest human language possible so that the most unlearned can understand and obey its teachings. It is self-interpreting and covers every subject of human knowledge and need now and forever. As a literary composition, the Bible is the most remarkable book ever made. It is a divine library of 66 books, some of considerable size, and others no larger than a tract. These books include various forms of literature - history, biography, poetry, proverbial sayings, hymns, letters, directions for elaborate ritualistic worship, laws, parables, riddles, allegories, prophecy, drama, and others. It is the book that reveals 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 binding, **[its histories true], and its decisions immutable. Read it to believe, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. The Bible contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here paradise is restored, heaven is opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good is its design, and the Glory of God its end. It should fill your memory, rule your heart, and guide your feet **[in true righteousness and true holiness]. Read it slowly, daily, prayerfully, **[meditatively, searchingly, devotionally, and study it constantly, perseveringly, and industriously. Read it through and through until it becomes a part of your being and generates faith that will move mountains.] The Bible is a mine of wealth, **[the source of health], a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given to you in this life, will be opened at the judgment, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward **[the least to] the greatest of labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents. >>   ~ *G.W. ~ Anonymous intro   |   *George Whitehead (1636-1723), **[editor unknown] How to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior Why the King James is the best Bible version Mathematics Proves the Bible is God's Word BACK TO LIBRARY
