WHAT IS THE BIBLE?
• "THIS BOOK contains 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 traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's character.
• Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the gates of hell disclosed.
• Christ is its grand object, our good is its design and the glory of God its end.
• It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
• Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully.
• It is given you in life and will be opened in the judgment and will be remembered forever.
• It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labour, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents."
