Percieving The Bible As The Word of God.

The Bible contains within it the very mind of God himself. When opened, one is immediately lifted up into the benevolent thoughts of the Narrator who has by His own soft words spoken the greatest and most powerful love story ever told. Each and every part within this great masterpiece contains within it the most resounding and astounding message of hope that could ever be offered to all of mankind. If then, such a book is within the reach of any man or woman here on earth, and whether this book be found on an old dusty shelf or on a freshly swept desk, one might care to listen to the kind voice offering to him the salvation of his soul, saying, "Take and read; meditate on my ordinances, my law, my commandments, my truth, my revelation, my beauty, my heart, my mind, and come to know My Son, who has died and risen just for you, please, meditate both day and night on these things, that your life may be made complete, that you might have unending joy in this life and in the life to come."


Perceive the Bible in a way such as this, and you will most certainly experience Jesus much in the same way as that generation of men who personally encountered him face-to-face:

"...what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life..." - 1 John 1:1
