Why Is The Bible So Important to Mankind
Today’s Thought:
“There never was found, in any age of the world, either religion or law that did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible.” – Francis Bacon
Today’s Quote:
“The Bible is worth more than all the other books which have ever been printed.” – Patrick Henry
Today’s Question:
“Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord’s Prayer.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
Today’s Bible Verses: Proverbs 30:5, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 & Psalm 119:11
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Today’s Spiritual Thought:
“The Bible goes equally to the cottage of the plain man and the palace of the king. It is woven into literature, and it colours the talk of the street.” – Theodore Parker
The Bible is God’s words to humanity and the instruction manual and guidebook by which we should live our lives.
Here is what a few have said about it over the years:
“It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.” – George Washington
“The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity for American life.” – Herbert Hoover
“In regard to this great book [the Bible], I have to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.” – Abraham Lincoln
“A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of this, a knowledge of the Bible.” – Woodrow Wilson
“Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your heart and practice them in your lives.” – Ulysses S. Grant
“The Bible is a book in comparison with which all others in my eyes are of minor importance; and which in all my perplexities and distresses has never failed to give me light and strength.” – Robert E. Lee
“The meaning of the Bible must be known and understood if it is to make a difference in our lives, and I urge all Americans to read and study the Scriptures.” – Ronald Reagan
“Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure what life would be if those teachings were removed.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“Our faith is not dependent upon human knowledge and scientific advance, but upon the unmistakable message of the Word of God.” – Billy Graham
That is why I say, “The B I B L E, yes that’s the book for me: I stand along on the word of God: The B I B L E!” – (lyrics from the Children’s Hymn ‘The BIBLE’)
Today’s Prayer:
Father thank you for your Word. May I be faithful to avail myself of it’s wisdom and directions: may I apply them to my life and may I live in accordance with their intentions.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
- The Bible (Psalm 119:105)
