Let Us Know the Bible

(Jn5:39; 2Ti3:12-17)



God is the God of revelation.

He reveals Himself according to His ways, and

He teaches and guarantees according to His revealed Word.



Faith is knowing Him and believing Him, and

The life of this faith is completely trusting the revealed Word.



"The Holy Scriptures refers to the holy book as

It is different from all the books in the world for

It contains the Word of God and

Thus it is only beneficial when read with the lens of faith.



The structure of the Bible is

The Pentateuch, the chronicles, the psalms, and the prophetic books of the Old Testament and

The records of the life of Jesus and the testaments of the apostles of the New Testament.



The theme of the Bible is Jesus and

Its application is to equip the men of God to do good work

So they may receive eternal life (Jn5:39; 2Ti3:16-17).



Because of Adam all men inherited sin and death:

The flesh that comes from dust would return to dust (Ge3:19),

While the spirit that came from God died because of sin (Ge2:7, 17; Eph2:1).



The Old Testament contains

The revelation through the Law and the prophecies of the prophets

Continuing through the history of Israel and being fulfilled until John the Baptist (Mt11:13).



The sanctuary where the stone tablets and the name of the Lord God were

Reminded the Israelites that God revealed Himself to them and that

He keeps His promises.



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days (Jn2:19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would fulfill what was yet to be fulfilled and reveal Himself to all men.



As such He did all, such as His birth, His public life's beginning,

Teaching, healing, and even the betrayal of His disciple,

All according to what was written in the Scriptures (Is7:14; Lk4:16-21; Mt4:4-10, 8:16; Jn13:18).



Even by saying, "I am thirsty (Jn19:18)

He fulfilled the Scriptures and gave it authority.



As He died, He finally said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:

1)     Traded and trusted His life with the Father's word (Jn10:18; He5:7);

2)     Condemned the origin of sin (1Jn3:8); and

3)     Redeemed the sins of men and made a way for them to know Him and receive eternal life (Mt20:28; Jn6:40).



According to His prophecy, He resurrected (Mt16:21; Jn20:19), and

According to His promise, He sent the Holy Spirit (Ac1:4, 2:4).



The Holy Spirit who came in the name Yeshua

Let witnesses recall even after decades and

Record the facts of what He did and said (Jn16:26; Lk1:1-4).



The Bible was written by those who were inspired by the Holy Spirit (2Ti3:15) and

To this day those who are inspired by the Spirit

Find treasure in the Bible (Mt13:44-45) and

Thus willingly trade it with their whole life.

Furthermore, they firmly believe that

The one prophecy of the New Testament that is yet to be fulfilled,

The return of the Lord Jesus, will surely be fulfilled (Rev22:20).



O Lord,

Let the Holy Spirit who

Inspired those who because of this one book

Tossed away their life and willingly faced suffering and death

Inspire all of us today.

Let our inheritance and will for our offspring

Be the life that clings only unto the Bible! Amen.
