MY WAY WITH THE BIBLE

There was a time in my life, when the Bible was like any other book.

But the time came, when the Bible became alive for me.

At that time I found the Lord Jesus Christ, or rather the Lord Jesus Christ found me. At that time I passed from darkness to life. I crossed over from death to life. With other words I was born again. I had a second birthday. I was a new creation and I began a new life.

But that is not all.

For a long time I read the Bible, here a little bit and there a little bit, but I never managed to read the Bible from the beginning to the end like you read any other book.

But eventually the time came, when I read the Bible from cover to cover, and when I say that, I mean every word! There was one year some time ago, when I read the Bible twice from cover to cover. It is now my habit, to read at least once a year from Genesis to Revelation. For those who do not know, Genesis is the first and Revelation the last book of the Word of God.

I actually believe that for people who are not born again, the Bible is like any other book. I am saying that because of my own experience.

John 3:3 says: “IN REPLY JESUS DECLARED, ‘I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNLESS A MAN IS BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD,'”

“The natural man does no believe that this Word is true; to him the Bible is jut a book like any other book.” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
