On the Bible

Never forget that the Bible is not just a "bunch of books put together" where some are more important than others.. do not beleive those who say that we live in the time of the New Testament and that the Old has no great importance. The Bible is a series of books that are related with eachother to tell us abut Jesus. The Old Testament is very important, you need to learn to love and study. See the Bible as a complete book. One covenant preceding a new and better covenant. In the Old Testament, Learn of God, see how we see all the time only a shadow of Jesus in the tabernacle, learn about the offerings, the sacrifices, the law, the circumcission, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, of Egypt, of their slavery of their deliverance, of their sin, of Gods forgiveness, learn about the plagues, learn of the prophets, of Adam, of our sin, of Jesus, who is He, why was it important that He came, what did He do, His love, His meercy, His justice, His wrath ,His creation,  learn  the doctrines of salvation, election, His sovereignty, adoption, justification, santification, the Lord's Day, the Lord's Supper, baptism, learn of his coming, learn of the hope that we have in Him, learn to fear him and reading the Bible and reading it all.. not as a "read the Bible in one year" program, but study it, make it part of your every day life. Know how to defend your faith. Learn it enough that in your life, Jesus will be FAR more persuasive that the world.

Someone said once, that some people have so much dust in their Bibles that with your finger you can write "dead". Make sure your Bible looks used!. Make sure that dust does not have the time to sit on your Bible. Read it every time you can, treasure every word you read. Ask the Lord to seal the words you reading in your heart so that you may not forget them.
