THE BIBLE - A BOOK LIKE NO OTHER

The Bible is such a magnificent book. It is indeed “God’s Word.” Every time I study it, I stand amazed by it richness. I’m reminded of Paul words in Romans 11: 33-36 “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! "For who has known the mind of the lord? Or who has become his counselor?" "Or who has first given to him and it shall be repaid to him?" For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”

Every word of the Bible is God breathed, not just when it says: “thus saith the Lord…” Even the comas and periods are there because God intended them to be there. 2nd Timothy 3:16 says: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.” This verse refers to “all” Scripture, not just part of it. Jesus said in Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”

There are 3 important words that we need to understand when considering the divine Word of God:

* Bible revelation: God reveals or discloses truth that otherwise men could not know. God has revealed all the truth that men need in the Bible. Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."
* Bible inspiration: God imparted the exact words that He wanted written in His book to certain men through the Holy Spirit. 2nd Peter 1:21 “The prophets did not think these things up on their own, but they were guided by the Spirit of God.”
* Bible illumination: it is the work of the Holy Spirit, where He opens the believer’s spiritual understanding so that he/she can comprehend the Scriptures. John 16:13 says “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.”
