The Living Book

Text: II Tim 3:16
More Lessons: Psa 19:1-10

I believe the Bible contains the true and living Word of God. The Bible was written over 1,500 years ago by 40 different generations coming from radically different backgrounds and cultures, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fishermen, poets, statesmen, scholars, etc. It was written from different places, at different times, in different languages and by different writers yet it contains an unmistakable thread of continuity. It’s incredible to realize that even human and natural science abound proofs that attest to the reliability of the Bible. Archeological research has revealed excavations and discoveries of tangible evidences to ascertain that the records in the Bible are not fiery tales but true.

Scientific research continues to unfold the wonders and mysteries of our universe which only the Bible anticipated, centuries before they were discovered. Let’s see a few of the inexhaustible tangible historical proofs that the Bible is truly God-breathed and relevant not only for spiritual things but also for daily living.

1. The earth floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by gravity. While other sources declared that the earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle, or was held up by Atlas, the Bible alone states what we now know to be true – “He hangs the earth on nothing.”
2. The Bible warns against eating birds of prey (Lev. 11:13-19). Scientists now recognize that those birds which eat carrion (putrefying flesh) often spread disease.
3. Circumcision on the eighth day is ideal (Gen. 17:12; Lev. 12:3; Luke 1:59). Medical science has discovered that the blood clotting chemical pro-thrombin peaks in a newborn on the eighth day. This is, therefore, the safest day to circumcise a baby.
4. Our bodies are made from the dust of the ground (Gen. 2:7; 3:19). Scientists have discovered that the human body is comprised of some 28 base and trace elements – all of which are found in the earth. History also has it that no other book in circulation has as much proof of its truth and reality in science, arts, history and archeology as the Bible does. The Bible is not a science text book; it is God’s Word yet it has proved itself even in human science. Friend, if you don’t own a bible, then you don’t own a real book. If you own one and don’t read it, reality is passing you by. If you own one but it’s dusty, then you are ignoring reality. But if you study the Word of God in faith, then welcome to Reality!

Prayer/ Action
Pray:
* Lord, help me to live by the reality of Your Word
* Let the truth of Your Word prevail over every lie of the devil around me.
* I dedicate my life to the truth of Your Word, I shall live by it all my life.
