What Is The Bible?

People generally have their own preconceived ideas about the Bible, and before they even open its pages, they have already made up their minds as to what it is and what it means. Therefore, there is a great tendency to misunderstand or simply be unaware of what the Bible actually says.

There are over six billion people in this world and each person has his or her own thoughts about God. Many think of the Bible as one of religion’s sacred writings. As Buddhism has its sutras, Confucianism has the writings of Confucius, and Islam has the Koran, there is a great tendency to consider Christianity as being simply another of these religions and the Bible as its holy writings. People ask what is so special about the Bible. Other religions also have their books of morals, so what is the difference? This is an attitude commonly held by those who have not really looked into the matter in any depth.

Some people think it is better to gloss over matters such as these and simply believe without question. They feel it is unnecessary to go into these matters in such detail. There is no need for blind faith, however, when the Bible shows us the facts very clearly. Blind faith can be very dangerous; it can lead a person along the path to eternal damnation. It is important to know precisely and question things in detail until you grasp something definite. If the Bible we read and the Gospel we are preaching are also false and nothing but a meaningless pack of lies and not true, many people are putting a great deal of time and effort into something which is utterly meaningless. I would like to say in advance that the Bible definitely is not a mere book of religious writings and morals. As we study the Bible we will begin to take as our theme, ‘THE BIBLE IS TRUE’, and we will continue to examine carefully with reference to many of the verses contained in its pages in order to ascertain its veracity. This is why it is so important to know for certain whether the Bible is credible or not. If you find, as I have, that the Bible is indeed true, you will also realize that the consequences are enormously rewarding and you will see that this is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Jesus said “Every tree that does not bear fruit will be cut down and thrown into eternal fire”. As Christian we are to become light and salt of the world and be accountable for the faith that we received. We must not submit ourselves to laws of this materialistic world and put the word of God in subjection to man made rules.
