THE WORD OF GOD

Every country,city,school, has to have laws: every game must have rules. God,the creatorof all things, set forth His laws in a book, the Bible, so man would not be in doubt as to His rules. More than that, He sent His only begotten Son to this earth to be the living Word,confirming that which had been written.The Bible is a literary MIRACLE. Its 66 books were written by men from every level of political and social life-from fisherman and shepherds to priests, physicians and Kings. None of them knew their writings were to be part of a combined work yet every part fits perfectly with every other part. It is absolutely impossible that some 40 men over a period of 1600 years could have designed this entire book into one continuous,harmonnious scheme. There need be no other proof that the whole Bible has one Supreme author-God Himself. The Bible has stood the Tests of time,archaeology, and scientific accuracy and fulfilled prophecy. Cities and empires have faded away but the Bible remains indestructible despite its many enemies and critics. Its pages have pointed the way for millions through the ages to find forgiveness,peace,joy and the way to heaven. It is any wonder the devil has tried in every conceivable way to discredit it,misinterpret it and keep people from reading, believing and obeying it. No other book written has caused thieves to become honest,drunkards to be changed into sober non-drinkers, drug addicts to be freed from their slavery and have their minds and bodies restored; prostitutes to forsake their lives of degradation and become chaste wives and mothers; wayward men to return and be faithful husbands and fathers; murderers to ministers.For whatever God's word says to us is full of living power: it is sharper than the sharpest dagger,cutting swift and deep into our intermost thoughts and desires with all their parts, exposing us for what we really are. THANK GOD FOR HIS WORD!!!!
