Those communicate Bible truth to must understand that the Bible is very important, and why it is, or we waste our time, energy and breath. What the Bible says is exceedingly important and has great meaning because: 1. God, the Creator of the universe, and Creator of mankind, wrote it (2 Timothy 3:16). Yes, it's true that God called on men who did the actual writing, however, God told them what to write, so the Bible has the authority of the Creator God of the universe. 2. God's Word, the Bible brings out the facts on how the universe works, and how man is supposed to relate to it, and to God Himself. It reveals that the most important things in life are spiritual and, are unseen by men living in the physical body. (2 Corinthians 4:18). The Bible gives the answers on these subjects, whereas science only comes up bits and pieces through empirical study. 3. The Bible is the only spiritually inspired writing that shows the way to peace with God. All the other spiritually inspired writings began to come on the scene about 350 years after the Bible was begun, by God, through Moses. These subsequent "scriptures" have plagiarized, and are dedicated to refuting the Bible. These writings, such as the Hindu Vedas, the Koran, and the Book of Mormon are a few examples of the many supposedly holy writs, that are inspired indeed, by God's arch-enemy, Satan, the devil, the serpent of Genesis 3. 4. The not so widely known fact that the Bible was written over a period of about 1,500 years, by over 40 different writers and is, in the original text, without mistake, it has perfect harmony and agreement down through the ages is, in itself a supernatural miracle. This is a claim that Satan has not been able to duplicate or counterfeit. The Koran and the Book of Mormon are both said to be written by one man each, and both are heavily weighted with contradictions. They are simply efforts of the devil to refute the Bible and to deceive those who won't submit to God, but who cannot escape the fact that they can't make it without Him. 5. The Bible includes over 300 prophecies (telling future events) concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, from over 1,000 years before the fact, and they all came true during the human life of Jesus Christ, unmistakably showing Him to be Israel's promised Messiah & Savior of all mankind. 6. There is additional evidence that can be seen in the lives of people around us, who live their lives according to the Bible, (this means spiritually walking with Christ). These people have a mysterious satisfaction in life, they are "steady". They are able to suffer through their problems and sorrows purposefully and move on with life. When we watch them, we notice that they seem to have something unique, something that makes them different. Of course, there are many other reasons that the Bible is important to humans beings. This is just intended to be a short article, not an exhaustive study on the subject. In summary, the Bible is the inspired word of God and carries God's vital message of abundant living to every person. It also carries the authority of God, which means that He Who is powerful above every created being has the power to win against all odds and that everything the Bible says WILL come to pass sooner or later. He has complete unsurpassed power to enforce every message in the Bibleand He will, in His own good time. "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;He was buried, andHe rose again the third day according to the scriptures:He was seen of Cephas and then of the twelve." (1 Corinthians 15:3-5) "...What must I do to be saved?" "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved..."(Acts 16:30;31) Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
