USE OF THE BIBLE

Mike Johnson

People use the Bible in many different ways.  Sadly, some only use the Bible to record marriages, births, deaths, etc.  Some people use it to swear on, sometimes calling for an entire stack.  Others use it as an ornament for a living room table, thinking others will be impressed.

However, the Bible is the Word of God, and we should look upon it with much respect and use it for the purpose God intended.  It is important to note that the Bible:

• can save our souls (James 1:21),
• is to be our guide ( Ps. 119:105),
• must be obeyed (Heb. 5:8-9),
• will judge us (Jn. 12:48).

How do you regard the Bible?  Do you live by it?  Do you learn from it?  It is essential to view God’s Word correctly and use it for its intended purpose.
