There is no other book like The B-I-B-L-E

God's Word The Bible:

-This book reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
-Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.
-Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.
-It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
-It is the traveller's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter.
-Here, too, heaven is opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
-Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end.
-It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
-Read slowly, frequently, prayerfully.
-It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.
-It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever.
-It involves highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour, and condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
-Owned, it is riches; studied, it is wisdom; trusted, it is salvation; loved, it is character; and obeyed, it is power. (Author Unknown)

Sweeter yes, than honey, worth far more than gold,
Is God's Word the Bible,
Best story ever told.
It tells where we came from,
And all that's going to be.
I love God's Word the Bible,
For it speaks to me

Good news of salvation
God's Son, Jesus came,
To this earth to save us,
From our sin and shame.
That all who receive Him,
Someday in heaven will be.
I love God's Word the Bible,
For it speaks to me.
