The Bible – Part Four
THE BIBLE IS – – –
DIVINELY INSPIRED,
SUPERNATURALLY AUTHORED,
INFALLIBLY AUTHORITATIVE.
It being God’s Word, what does it mean to you? Will you make it a habit to read it often, even study it using a reputable source, memorize portions, and endeavor to live according to its teachings? Make yourself a commitment.
You may own a Bible and thus it is a possession.
You might memorize the Bible and thus it is a precept.
When you live by the Bible it becomes a practice.
The objective is to move from it being a possession to a practice.
Is God smarter than you? If so, His Book is a reputable source of knowledge, a competent guidebook, a reliable field guide. If so, resolve, “I will make it ‘.. a lamp to my feet and light to my path.’”
