The Bible contains:
The mind of God
The state of man
The way of salvation
The doom of sinners
The happiness of believers
Its doctrines are holy
Its precepts are binding
Its history is true
Its decisions are immutable
Read it to be wise
Believe it to be safe
Practice it to be holy
It contains light to direct you
Food to support you
Comfort to cheer you
It’s the travelers map
The pilgrims’ staff
The pilots compass
The soldiers’ sword
The Christian’s charter
Here paradise is restored
Heaven opened and the gates of hell disclosed
Christ is its grand subject
Our good is it’s design
And the glory of God its end
It should fill the memory
Rule the heart and guide the feet
Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully
It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory and a river of pleasure
Follow its precepts and it will lead you to Calvary
To the empty tomb
To the resurrected life in Christ
And, yes, to glory itself for eternity
It involves the highest responsibility
And will reward the greatest labor.
How do we know the God of the word? Study the Word of God. It is worth knowing. It is eternal.
