I believe that Bible because of the countless lives that have been changed.
Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (NIV 1984 Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.™)
The bible is not a dead book, it is 2,000 years old yet it still gets the job done.
Charles Colson Politician made famous through the Watergate trials tells a story of how he met with Tom Phillips an old friend. Something was different and decided to find out for himself. He went on vacation by himself with a Bible, a copy of CS Lewis’ book Mere Christianity, and a legal pad. He drew a line down the middle of the page and wrote at the top, pros and cons. He studied and studied to decide if this Jesus stuff was for real.
Do you know what happened? After a long and intense study, he accepted Jesus Christ, went back to DC confessed his role in Watergate and went to prison.
Today Charles Colson is out of prison and spends his time sharing Christ with inmates, and authors books in defense of Jesus Christ.
What changed the skeptic CS Lewis to write a book like “Mere Christianity”?
What changed the wealthy business man Tom Phillips?
What changed a powerful politician and political aid Charles Colson?
Let me tell you, It was the word of God that is living and active. It not only converts people, it builds us up
In Psalms 19;8-11we read
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. (NIV 1984 Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.™)
There is something about this book that builds us up and it has been said; "A Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to a person that isn’t."
Are you willing to check it our for yourself and see if God's word can change your life. I encourage you, In fact I challenge you to read it and see if you are the same after.
