The Bible is the basis and foundation of Christian belief. We believe that the Bible was written by God (ie. God inspired the authors to write down what they did). It is God's love story to us. He writes about His relationship with man and His great love for us. It contains what He has promised to do, what He has already done, and what He would like us to do.
So the question today is - do we truly believe that what the Bible says is true?
Why is this important? Because our faith flows from believing God's words in the Bible. The children's hymn - "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so" - sums up this point. If we don't really believe what the Bible tells us, it is difficult for our faith to be strong. Does Jesus really love me? Does God want to heal me? Does God want my life blessed? All these questions start to spring to mind if we don't have knowledge about what God says on these topics, and secondly, if we know what is written, but don't really believe it.
The answers to those questions are in the Bible (and they are all YES). Some things, though, require your knowledge and belief before they can fully manifest. So let's continue to grow our faith by finding out what the Bible says on various topics.
'So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Romans 10:17
