“CAN YOU EVER HAVE TOO MANY BOOKS?”

I am reading that question while looking through the shop window of a book shop here in Kaitaia / NZ on this rainy and windy Christmas Day. The question is written on a cardboard box.

Kaitaia looks dead today, there are only a few shops open for business.

What is your answer to the above question?

My answer is not, “Yes, I can have too many books” or “No, I cannot have too many books.”

But my answer is, “There is one book you must have and that book is the Bible, the word of the Living God.

Why do I say that?

This is the main reason:

THE BIBLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY A HUMAN BEING, THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN BY GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Please read Second Timothy 3:16 and Second Peter 1:21.

There are other reasons as well.

The  Bible is also known by the title  THE WORD OF GOD.

1.  We have said already, that the word of God is SUPERNATURAL in its origin – Second Timothy 3:16-17.

2.  The word of God is ACCURATE in its prophecies – First Peter 1:10-12.

3.  The word of God is INERRANT in its contents – Psalm 119:11.

4.  The word of God is RELIABLE in its promises – Second Corinthians 1:20.

5.  The word of God is FAITH-BEGETTING  in its ministry – Romans 10:17.

6.  The word of God is SAVEGUARDING in its warnings – Psalm 19:11.

7.  The word of God is AUTHORITATIVE in its utterance – Psalm 119:11.

DO YOU HAVE A BIBLE ON YOUR BOOK SHELF?
