God has spoken to us — what an incredible fact! He has spoken through nature, through men and through angels. Most important of all, He has spoken to us in the person of the Son, the Word become flesh. And, by the Holy Spirit, He has given to us a perfect, holy book, the Holy Scriptures, which we commonly call the Bible. Every word of it comes from God Himself.
The books of men record their thoughts, their feelings and their acquired knowledge. By contrast, God’s book is living and powerful. It is incorruptible seed, which by the Holy Spirit gives and sustains life. It is the food for the soul, as bread is the food for the body, for man shall not live by bread alone.
The books of men may and are judged by men, but God’s book judges man, and it is to be judged by no man. His word is always final. It reveals many things to man, about himself, the world he lives in and God Himself that he could never know unless God, his creator, told him.
It is a book no man can master. The greatest minds are the darkest minds without understanding given to them by the Spirit. Yet, to the submissive heart and mind, it is a supreme light, joy and communication from God’s heart and mind directly to the heart and mind of His creature. Blessed be God for His gift — the Holy Scriptures.
