The Only Book!
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4: 12
Numerous anecdotal examples have been recorded
of pairs of individuals—twins, spouses, best friends,
being able to “finish one another’s sentences.”
That is, they know each other so well
that one person knows what the other
is going to say or is thinking.
Even more remarkable is the existence of a Book that is able to
discern “the thoughts and intents of the heart.” That book being
the Bible. How's the Bible able to speak to the deepest parts of
our being? Because it is a living Book.
Not the pages or ink, but the words and messages of the Bible as the
Holy Spirit applies them to our heart. That is why it is so important to
prayerfully read the Bible, asking the Spirit of God to show us how to
conform our life to God’s righteous and holy character.
Reading the Bible is not like reading any
other book in the world. It is the only Book
able to conform us to the image of its Author.
"The Bible was the only
book Jesus ever quoted."
Leon Morris
