The Bible is the Word of God

 NEW FOUND FAITH POINTS TO THE BIBLE

You have recently dedicated your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This brings many unanswered questions to your mind and heart. Your eyes are now open to the wonders of creation and a yearning to acquire more knowledge and understanding of God.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN OTHERS REFER TO THE BIBLE AS THE WORD?

An interesting truth is the Bible is actually the written words of the living God. Through the ages of history over forty authors penned the specific words spoken directly to them by the Holy Spirit of God. This is an amazing, awe-inspiring book that is intertwined and interwoven. 

Boundless stories in the New Testament are foreshadowed in the Old Testament. It is significantly important to read the whole thing, not just favorite parts. The prophesies in the Old Testament are fulfilled in the New Testament. This is a wondrous book!

BE AWARE OF FALSE TEACHING!

Beware of people influencing you to believe the Bible is just a collection of stories or poetry. This idea stumbled me for many years. I was taught by a teacher of religion that Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, and other stories were fables that were meant to leave us with good inspiration. This led me to question if Jesus was a fable as well.

HAVE YOU CRIED OUT TO GOD?

Fortunately for me, some years later, I cried out to God to show me personally if He was real. He not only gave me assurance and peace in my heart but implanted a deep desire to read the Bible. The Holy Spirit of God drew me directly to His Word and revealed that Jesus was the true Son of God who had paid the penalty for all my sins.

TIME TO OPEN YOUR HEART!

I was amazed as I read the true stories recorded for me to learn and grow in my faith. I was led to good Bible teachers that taught directly from the Word, verse by verse. I learned that Jesus was with God in the beginning speaking the world and everything else into existence. The Bible was written to us and for us. What a marvelous gift!

A FANTASTIC SCRIPTURE SPEAKING TRUTH ABOUT THE WORD IS FOUND IN JOHN 1:1-2, 14:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,  and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

INSPIRING TAKEAWAYS:

*To understand the Word you must first accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

*Set aside time each day to read and meditate on the Word.

*The Word is Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth.

*Enjoy this marvelous gift!
