I looked and saw heaven was open, and a white horse was there. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and he is always fair when he judges or goes to war. He had eyes like flames of fire, and he was wearing a lot of crowns. His name was written on him, but he was the only one who knew what the name meant. The rider wore a robe that was covered with blood, and he was known as “The Word of God.”
Revelation 19:11-13
The Bible is the Word of God! I have been taught that all my life, and I do believe it, but there is much more to the Word of God. It is not just a Book. Remember it also says that "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." With the Word, God spoke everything that there is into existence. God "said let there be light!"
The Bible is like a box full of dynamite. A Bible on a shelf may seem harmless enough, but when those Words are unleashed into the heart of a man or woman, the power of God explodes into the world around! You may think you are just teaching small children to memorize Bible verses, but you are loading their minds with "Weapons of Mass Instruction!" If you know what the Bible says, you will know how to accurately navigate the rough seas of human existence!
If you want to prove to yourself that the Bible is the written record of the Word of God, then ask God to speak to your specific life situation in the pages of Scripture, then open the Book and begin reading. I have never seen that kind of sincere prayer go unanswered!
If the Bible is like a box of dynamite then my job is to simply light the fuse and wait for the explosion!
"Lord Jesus I praise Your Name that You are the Power behind the Book. Jesus, You are the Word of God, now and forever! Amen."
