Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

“This Book [is] the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is Wisdom;
this is the royal law; these are the lively Oracles of God.” With this words the moderator
of the church of Scotland hands a bible to the new monarch in Britain’s coronation
service, These words echo the King James Bible translators who in wrote in 1611: “God’s
sacred word …is that inestimable treasure that excelleth all the riches of the earth.”

The Christian faith is based on what Jesus accomplished for us through His life,
His death on the cross and His resurrection. The Bible played witness to these historical
events. The Bible is not an account of what people have thought about God-but what God
thinks of us! It is Gods inspired message to humankind

Centuries ago, the apostle Paul wrote to his young protégé, Timothy: “All
scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us
realize what is wrong with our lives” (II Timothy 3:16). Note that Paul said “all
scripture”—not a part or some, but all, “All” means all of the bible, every part and every
type of literature—law, history, poetry, prophesy, gospel, epistle, and apocalypse.
That short passage in Paul’s letter also emphasizes what Scripture does: “It
straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God’s way of preparing us in
every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do.”(II Timothy 3:16-
17). In other words, the Bible tells us how to live by showing us what God wants. As we
read scripture we need to think about what God is revealing about himself and what he is
telling us to do— what actions to take and what changes to make.

It is often burdensome to pick up our bible to read through God’s life-changing

word. However, magazines, novels, movies, parties…somehow find automatic slots in
our “ever-busy” schedule. The enemy will rather have us fill ourselves with his lies and
deceit, because he knows the Bible will tell you the truth about God and about yourself.
The more we read the Bible the more we learn to love and obey God.
There is no hard and fast rule to studying the Bible. You could start chapter-by-
chapter, book-by-book, from Genesis to Revelations or you could start with any
particular book or use a study guide.

…You can completely rely on the Book of Books to give you the big picture.

You really can make it…if you read these passages from your Bible, you will read the entire Bible in one year (you can start any day
of the year!).
