What's In There?

We'd all agree that the Bible is truly God's word; and indeed, according to polls by the Barna Research Group, 92% of born-again Christians (those who have accepted Christ and are trusting in Him for salvation) believe that "the Bible is totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches." Yet, only 62% of us have picked one up in the last week. Not only that, 46% believe that Satan is not a real being, 37% believe that being a good person will get you into heaven, and 26% believe that Jesus committed sins while here on earth, all of which is NOT what the Word says.

Remember the joy of getting a love letter? Well, the Bible is filled with page after page of love letters from God, not to mention words of comfort, guidance, hope, and joy. We really ought to know what's in there. Don't neglect the message from the One who loves you the most.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
2Timothy 2:15 NKJV
