3. The Bible

Your Personal Guide to Life

     The Bible is the most exquisite and
The most amazing book in the world. Not only will we learn from it how we ended up here,
But also why we are here and how to live happily here, love and have joy and peace.

     Unfortunately, even so many people nowadays
They completely ignore the Bible. We often meet people who have years of higher
education and who have read hundreds and hundreds of different books, but never even
They did not look into the most fascinating book of all – the Bible.

     You can find almost anything in the Bible: Drama,
Romance, poetry, prophecy, history, secrets and many other genres.

     However, the most important thing is that there is in the Bible
Contained the spirit itself and the life of God himself. (See John 4:24, 6:63.) It is a spiritual
The spark of God, which ignites his life, light and strength in us. God’s Word is that
The strongest truth on Earth.

it works

     A skeptic and a Christian argued about it,
If the Bible is really a supernaturally inspired book. The skeptic was
convinced that since no one has ever seen God and there is no
scientific evidence of its existence, no one can believe that the Bible was written from
God’s inspiration. Christian asked, “Do you know the name of a person who compiled
a multiplication table?’

‘No.’

‘Then you don’t believe in the multiplication table!’

‘But yes, I believe because
It works,’ the skeptic said.

‘And with the Bible it’s exactly
so.’

     The fact that the Bible works is actually the greatest proof that it is truly the miraculous, supernatural word of God himself. When you read the Bible, you will find in it an absolutely inexhaustible source of wisdom and knowledge, and you will constantly find in it old and new treasures. (See Matthew 13:52.)

     The best thing about the Bible is that through her
You can know the words of its author, for the Bible is one great love of God
by letter. Her life-giving words make her the most excellent book in the world, with
The only author in the world who can guarantee eternal life, love, happiness and heaven.
Just read her and believe in her main character, the one who us so much
He loved that he gave his life for our salvation: Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

     If you pray sincerely: ‘Open my eyes so that I understand what is written in your word’, You won’t be disappointed. (Psalm 119:18.)

a dish for the soul

     Jesus said: ‘The words I spoke to you are a spirit and are life’ (Jan
6:63). They give us spiritual life, food, strength and health, which means that if
We want to grow and stay close to Jesus, we need quality, healthy and
balanced nutrition from God’s word.

     Just as we must eat to stay
Physically strong, we must feed ourselves and drink from the word to have spiritual strength.

     The Bible tells us that as newborn babies
We should have a desire for unadulterated spiritual milk to grow it (1. Peter
2:2). Just as a baby needs breast milk, so do you need to
spiritual food to his spiritual growth. And just like a baby instinctively
and irrepressibly demands milk from the mother’s breast, we should also starve for
pure milk of words.

     Prophet Jeremiah said: “As soon as your words appeared, I ate them and they brought me joy.‘ (Jeremiah 15:16). Job said: ‘His word is more important to me than everyday food.’ (Job 23:12 – translation from KJV English).

     Nothing is more important to your spiritual
Life than word, because the word is love, the word is God, the word is Jesus.

Time to Read

     In the tenth chapter of Luke’s Gospel we read
The story of Mary and Martha. When Jesus came to visit them, Mary ‘she sat at her feet
Jesus and listened to his words.’ Marta, on the other hand, had a lot of work to do
She served. She tried so hard to be a good hostess she didn’t have time to listen
Jesus. And so Jesus kindly admonished her: ‘Martha, Martha, you worry and
You are worried about many things. Only one is needed. Marie voted well, she chose
that of which he will not come’ (Luke 10:41,42). What did Mary choose? Word! She was sitting at
Jesus’ feet and listened to his words.

    Now you’re probably thinking, ‘But I’m so busy
And I can’t do anything. How do I find time to read a word every day?’
In truth, if you prefer the word, God will always help you find time for
Everything else. And when you see a change in your life, you will wonder how you
Before, he could do without a word.

daily reading

     The best habit you can develop is to spend a moment reading and studying the Bible and biblically oriented Christian literature every day. Start with a quarter of an hour, for example, and you can gradually extend it to half an hour or more. If you read the word of God and try to live according to it, your life will acquire a deeper meaning and you will be happier, more satisfied and have more love and understanding for other people. Of course, all this will not happen overnight, but it will come gradually.

      If you want from your daily reading
extract as much as possible, it is good to have a read scheduled, for example, that you read all
The Four Gospels, the New Testament or the Book of Psalms.

     When you read the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand what you read, but don’t worry if you don’t understand everything right away; No one can do that. Keep reading. The more you read, the more you will understand, and when you later go back to a certain passage, you will discover new meanings and ‘treasures’ that you did not notice before.
