Only the Bible
“For the word of God is alive 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.” Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
The greatest evidence that the Bible is God’s word is the change it makes in our hearts and minds. No other book can move a man to shun sin and seek the Savior, like the Bible does. No other book offers repeated fresh insights and perspective, like the Bible does. No other book was written by the very of breath of God except for the Bible.
The Bible does not dress-up man’s problems or seek to hide our fallen character because the God of its pages has grace sufficient for every condition of sin. It’s power of conviction is undeniable, it leaves no guilt unaddressed, one must callously reject the God of its words and willfully turn to damnation to not be saved through it.
Let’s pray today that lost men may drop their preconceived ideas and find God in the study of the Bible.
