Read It Yourself

     There's one way to find out what the Bible says and that is to read it. By that, I mean, it's fine to read what people have to say about the Bible, but unless you read the Bible for yourself, you could be in the dangerous position of putting your faith and trust in people instead of God.
     How can you know what the Bible says unless you read it?
     The Bible can stand up for itself. In fact, it is a living thing! Hebrews 4:12 says "For the Word of God is quick (alive!) and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
     Not only is the Word everything we need: strength, food, water, bread, light, life, love, a map, protection, a weapon; it is also our GOD. (John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.")
     We should read the Word. We should worship the Word. Respect the Word.
     What will keep us through dark days ahead? The Word! What kept the Christians throughout history who were imprisoned, tortured, persecuted and martyred? The Word! What's the answer to every problem in our lives? THE WORD! READ IT NOW AND ENJOY!
