What's so special about the Bible?

There’s all kinds of books – but ONE Book stands above all. Why is the Bible so special?

Hebrews 4:12 …the word of God is quick, and powerful… The Bible is the Word of God. Sadly, it is a missing book. There’s a Bible famine. Many …shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables 2 Timothy 4:4.

The Bible is God’s message for you. Over a quarter of the Bible is prophecy; about one-third yet to be fulfilled.

The Bible has authority. This is God’s plumbline - how we measure what is right.

There’s Life in this Book. It’s called the Word of Life. We hold it forth - as a lifeline to dying men… Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life… Sadly, the living dead refuse the word of life.
The Bible can make alive, those who will receive its message. It is God’s Manual for Life. The Maker’s Instructions. John 6:63 …the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. God’s Spirit makes men live. These Words are life. God’s life is in this book. Eternal life.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure… We believe that. These are words of life - that we must impart: Acts 11:14 …words, whereby thou …shall be saved.

The Word of God is quick and powerful. If you neglect the Bible you will not have the power.
The Bible is life transforming.

This two edged word can do a Heavenly work in you. When they heard… Acts 5:33 they were cut to the heart… Acts 5:33, 7:54, …pricked in their heart… Acts 2:37.

This is God’s Life-giving Book. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

It is an eternal book – a salvation book. A Soul-Saving Manual. This is a life-giving seed. This message, if received, germinates and makes us alive unto God.

It is a life changing book. By it we can have everlasting Life! 2 Tim 3:15 …the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Read the Bible. There’s a free gift inside!

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? As a fire it purifies hearts and lives. It is like a hammer that works to bring conviction to the hardest heart.

The Word is alike to a purifying stream. Psalms 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Like a lamp it guides us. Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

No other book has this unique message. There is no other so-called holy book like it.

The Word of God is life sustaining. God’s Word sustains His people. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable… It is profitable.
• For doctrine - for learning, teaching - LEARNING WHAT IS RIGHT
• For reproof – rebuking - CONVICTING ABOUT WHAT IS NOT RIGHT
• For correction - for setting straight - GUIDING - HOW TO GET RIGHT
• For instruction in righteousness - Training and nurture - TRAINING IN HOW TO STAY RIGHT.

We can be throughly furnished unto all good works. Completely equipped for service - for a life that pleases God.

Jeremiah 15:16 …thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart… There is heartfelt joy as we open God’s love letter to us.

There is true guidance for us. Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

The Word of God is life sustaining. We live by the Word. Matthew 4:4 …Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Something Supernatural happens when we read this special Book and act upon its message.
Psalms 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them… Wholeness comes when we yield to God’s Word.

The Bible breaks hard hearts and heals broken hearts. It points us to life in Christ. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Receive the Word. Acts 17:11 …they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily... James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Feed your soul. Feed your faith. It is by the Word of God we can be nourished spiritually, and grow. 1 Peter 2:2 ...desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: There is no error in the Word of God. It is absolutely reliable and true. Don’t neglect your Bible. Psalms 19:10-11 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
