THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD


A.   God’s Special Book


The Word of God – the Holy Bible – is God’s special book. It is not like other books. But is a supernatural book. It was written by many different people. Who wrote by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (see Timothy 3 : 16).

The Bible is the world’s bestseller. It consistently outsells any other book. The Bible has been translated into more languages than any other book in the world. It was originally written in three languages – Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The Bible you have has been translated by dedicated people so that you can have God’s words thoughts and plans.

The Bible is also one of the oldest books in the world. The most ancient portions of the Bible date back almost 4,000 years. Yet it is still the most modern book in the world today for in it we find the answers to life’s greatest questions:

1)     “Where did I come from ?”
2)     “Why am I here ?”
3)     “Where will I go ?”

Even though the Bible is made up of 66 smaller books. It has only one central theme: God’s loving plan to rescue mankind.

At the front of the Bible you will find a list of the 66 books that can be found in the Bible.

The Bible is divided into two sections:

I.                 The Old Testament and
II.               The New Testament

The Old Testament tells us about God’s work with His people before the birth of Jesus.

The New Testament tells us about Jesus birth, His life, His great ministry of healing and forgiveness for sick and sinful people. His death on a cross, His being raised from the dead and His ascension (going back to Heaven).

It also tells us about the continuation of His healing, forgiving ministry through those who saw Him after His resurrection. Those who follow Jesus teaching do many miraculous works just as He said they would (see John 14 : 12).

The teaching of those who saw Him after he was raised from the dead is contained in the Epistles (letters). These were written within the first fifty years after Jesus resurrection. These make up about half the New Testament.

Daily Word 16th Oct. 2017 - Shruti Vanjare “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:16 All glory, on Heaven and on Earth belongs to God. He created us so that the people recognize His glory through our behavior and standard of living. In the above verse, Jesus explains how you need to let your light shine before men. By this, He means that your walk with God should be according to His standard so they glorify our Father in Heaven. The world may carry on doing things monotonously without keeping in mind the God of all creation, but that shouldn't be the case with us, who believe. When they see the good works in you, they start glorifying the God who is within you because it's certain that nothing can else bring such a transformation, but Jesus Himself. “Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may,

Daily Word 6th October 2017 - Victor Mendonca He(Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" -Matthew 16:15 Jesus didn't ask the disciples this question because he had an identity crisis. Nor did Jesus forgot who he was. He asked the disciples this question because he wanted them to discover the revelation of who he actually is. From the very beginning of the world, God has always been a revealer of his great plans, love, grace, mercy, compassion, provision, protection etc. God reveals Himself in the Old Testament: - Abraham got a revelation of God as Jehovah Jireh - God who provides in Genesis 22:13-14 - Exodus 3:2-8 Moses got a revelation of God as the deliverer at the burning bush, which was later fulfilled in Exodus 12:41-42 - Elijah got a revelation of God who answers by Fire in 1 Kings 18:24.
