Greetings beloved church I have had many commitments in the last days in the church in which I congregate doing different activities to reach those who do not yet know the Lord. One of the actions I do the most is talking about the importance of the Bible in our lives, and I want to share it with you. Allow me to quote from verse 105 of Psalm 119, where the following message appears: "Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. "
The importance of the Bible in our lives is only because it is the compass and divine guidance for the man who seeks to fulfill the will of God in all aspects of his life. Even in the future life when we leave this world to be with the Lord forever in eternity.
YOUR REVELATION TO HUMANITY
For millennia, God revealed himself to man through his works, that is, through creation. But according to His purpose, there came a time when He wanted to reach man with a greater, wider and clearer revelation, which He did in two ways: 1) through the Bible, the written Word and 2) - through Jesus Christ - the living Word.
This double revelation is very special and has become necessary due to the fall of man. In this way, the study of the Scriptures is imposed as the main means of the natural man to know God and his will for his life.
THE EXCELLENCE OF THE BIBLE AS GOD'S WORD
The basic difference between the Bible and other books we read throughout our lives is that we have no moral obligation to obey what they teach, while the Bible is not just a book written to be read, but especially to be obeyed and applied. to our lives
Did you know that there is no value in knowing the letter of the Scriptures, but that you are not willing to obey it? The application of the Bible to our lives, we can certainly say with the psalmist David said: "I have hidden his word in my heart that I might not sin against you." - (Psalm 119: 10).
Academic knowledge has helped students of human behavior to detect the problems that afflict our society. However, it has not been able to analyze the causes and the application of solutions to these problems. For example: it is surprising to see how men who ignore the Bible attribute violence and other anomalies that affect contemporary society to causes such as poverty and illiteracy. They can not look at the world and see people as God sees them: fallen, spiritually poor and without knowledge of God's will.
In the context of all this confusion, the studious person of the Bible has a great advantage over other people. With the city newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other, you can detect both the problems and how to apply solutions.
HOW GOD SEES THE NEED THAT MAN HAS TO KNOW THE BIBLE
Go to the dying world, spiritually sick. The whole head is diseased and the whole body is weak, from the sole of the foot to the head there is no solidity in it. All this because, as Saint John said: The whole world is in the evil one. In the Book of Hosea, 4: 6 is written as follows: My people were destroyed, because their knowledge was missing. Is not this very sad?
If the Bible is really what we say it is for our lives, let us beware of the pharisaical attitude of reading it and even pronouncing it without being an inseparable part of our character. Without the knowledge of the Word of God, men, authorities, rulers, legislators are not entirely sure that they can guide their decisions. Hence the general confusion we see today, which shows us the true fulfillment of what Paul wrote in his 2nd Letter to Corinthians 4: 4: "In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, lest the Gospel light of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. " At this point, Jesus said: "Jesus said to them," The light is still with you a little, walk while you have the light, so that darkness takes over, who walks in darkness, does not know where he is going " (John 12:35)
