I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name (Psalm 138:2).
Concerning the very Word of God, our God almighty intends for us to understand that He has a very high opinion of His Word. It is something of indescribable value, a Book to be revered, honored, read, believed, and obeyed. It has not been given to us to be an ornament of decoration to adorn your coffee table at home or the communion table at church. The Volume of Holy Scripture came from God and shows us the way back to God. Read it. Study it. Believe it. Obey it. Know it in your head. Store it in your heart. Show it in your life, sow it in the world. This blessed Book, the Bible, is and must be the Word of God.
Before studying the glorious truths of Holy Scripture, we must have a firm grasp of the fact that the Bible is indeed of divine origin, inspired, infallible, and authoritative. Unless we recognize that fact, we have no authoritative basis for believing anything taught in the Bible. In fact, I am certain that the reason for all the fuzziness, instability, and confusion among religious people in our day is that they fail to recognize the absolute authority of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice, in all matters of doctrine and conduct.
As we face the heresies, speculations, skepticism, and ignorance of the religious world around us, as well as that of the secular world, we need to be sure of our ground. Doctrinal, spiritual ignorance always leads to spiritual bondage (Isaiah 5:13).
Numerous books have been written demonstrating the fact that the Bible’s claim of divine origin, inspiration, and infallibility cannot be denied. Assuming that you recognize this fact, over the next couple of months I will show you some things about the Bible which I trust will make the Book of God even more precious to you than it is already.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
