A DIVINE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

 DAY 6: THE BIBLE, A DIVINE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

 

MEMORY VERSE: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

                                                                                                            Ii Timothy 3:16-17

 

One way to approach the study of God’s Word is to look at it as a divine autobiography. It is really a book about God Himself. There we discover the person and character of God. You can look at a sunset or the beach or a mountaintop and see something of the greatness and majesty of God. But you cannot look at a sunset and discover that God is gracious, merciful and forgiving. God reveals Himself in and through the pages of Holy Scripture.

 

Scripture alone declares to us the plan of salvation.

Scripture alone tells us about the afterlife and judgement.

Scripture alone teaches us about a resurrection day.

Scripture alone discusses the reality of a heaven and a hell.

Scripture alone speaks of the comfort and power of God.

Scripture alone proclaims the uniqueness of Jesus Christ!

 

Do you see why we are such blessed people? To have a personal copy of the Bible at our disposal, day and night is such a blessing. And yet, much too often we neglect and let it sit there and collect dust.

 

We are to trust and obey that Word every day!

See James 1:22; Psalm 119:55-60; Luke 6:46-49; Psalm 37:31
