I know in my past posts I have talked much about reading the word and how important it is to dwell in the word. But I have never talked about what the Bible is, how to study it and how to apply it to our lives. So this is what I want to do today. I want to show you that it isn't hard, the only hard part is setting the habit, but once you have the habit down, you can do it. And not only is the word of God a good story to read, it is a story that is true and can be applied forever into our lives. It is a story that each time you read, it has a new meaning. It is the LIVING word of God.
The Bible is the Word of God. The spirit of God was in each of the human beings that were writing in it. They may not have been fully aware of all that was going on, or why but God was guiding them so that the words used were not of common man but were God's Word. “No prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21). God wanted us to understand what was written so He spoke in words that we could understand. The Bible has these words. As Billy Graham says: "The Bible isthe Word of God. This means the Bible isour authorityin everything it touches. This means the Bible isour guideto show us how to live. Most of all, this means the Bible isour instructor, teaching us about God and His plan of salvation in Christ. The Old Testament points toward Christ’s coming; the New Testament tells of His arrival. From Genesis to Revelation we see God’s great plan unfold–His plan to win a lost humanity back to Himself. The central theme of the Bible issalvation, and the central personality of the Bible isChrist." the Bible all comes together to point us to God, and how important a relationship with Him is. It is our instruction book. The Bible is God's gift to us.
God shows us time and time again that He is faithful to those that love Him and He shows up in all circumstances and makes even the most impossible circumstances possible.
He is the air that fills our lungs when it feels like there is no more reason to breathe.
