COMING TO TERMS WITH THE WRITTEN WORD – THE HOLY BIBLE

COMING TO TERMS WITH THE WRITTEN WORD – THE HOLY BIBLE: THE B-I-B-L-E “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”! 

“We have also a more SURE WORD of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

The written HOLY writ called the HOLY BIBLE, which I acclaimed in this sense as my “B-I-B-L-E” meaning, “BLESSED INFORMATION BRING LIFE ETERNAL”, is often misunderstood in its context. And as such, I have come, in my continuous journey as a student, to sum it up relatively in this wise – but not limited to: 

• The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that is both informative and transformative at the same time, and is relevant to all irrespective of context. 

•  The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that is spiritual, impactful and life giving at no charge. 

•  The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that you can READ with the TEACHING AUTHOR [THE HOLY SPIRIT] being always present by your side to help you READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND it’s context, concept and content. 

•  The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK by Holy Men as LED and MOVED by the Holy Spirit without adulteration, perversion, sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation and distortion in content, concept and context.  

•  The other BOOKS you READ, but the Holy Bible is the ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that READS you, the reader, irrespective.  

•  The Holy Writ – The Holy BIBLE – it is the ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that INSPIRES, REVEALS and EMPOWERS one in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, without distortion and adulteration in context and content.  

• The Holy Writ – The Holy BIBLE – it is the only ensured and ensuring, assured and assuring WRITTEN WORD of prophecy, without contradiction and controversy, despite the difference in times of the writing, across the various dispensations and generations in which the information was recorded and written.  

•  The Holy Writ, THE HOLY BIBLE – it is about your total well-being [spirit, soul and body] without charge unlike any other books. 

And with the concept above mentioned, though not limited, I strongly commend and recommend to you this WRITTEN BOOK for your today and tomorrow, in your DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Act 20:32. 

Therefore, take time to READ it for your good and goodness, in the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead, and then – SELAH: PAUSE AND THINK – on its living application to your DOING LIFE and GODLY CAUSE, in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:15-17. 

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy WORD. 105 Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119: 9, 105, 130. 

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is SHARPER than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], EXPOSING and JUDGING the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen” John 21:25. 

“I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: 14 but I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face” 3 John 1:13. 

“Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full” 2 John 1:12 

SUMMARY: 

the message is a charge to COME TO TERMS WITH THE WRITTEN WORD — THE HOLY BIBLE, presented as the only BOOK that is both informative and transformative, and essential for DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

KEY POINTS 

1. The Identity and Authority of THE BIBLE

The message defines the BIBLE as B-I-B-L-E: “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”. 
It is affirmed as: 

• The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that is informative, transformative, spiritual, impactful, and life-giving at no charge. 

• Without contradiction or controversy, though written across different dispensations, generations, and times by holy men moved by the Holy Spirit — 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

• The SURE WORD of prophecy and no prophecy of SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE interpretation — 2 Peter 1:20-21. 

2. The Unique Nature of THE BIBLE vs Other Books

• Other books you READ, but THE BIBLE READS YOU — it discerns the heart. 

• It has THE TEACHING AUTHOR [THE HOLY SPIRIT] present to help you READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND its context, concept and content. 

• It INSPIRES, REVEALS and EMPOWERS one in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, without adulteration, perversion, or distortion. 

• It is about total well-being [spirit, soul and body] without charge. 

3. The Power and Function of THE WORD

Scriptures are used to establish what THE WORD does: 

• 2 Timothy 3:15-17: THE HOLY SCRIPTURES make you wise unto salvation, and ALL SCRIPTURE is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness — that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished. 

• Psalms 119:9, 105, 130: THE WORD is a LAMP and LIGHT. The entrance of THE WORD gives UNDERSTANDING. 

• Hebrews 4:12-13: THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL OF POWER, sharper than a two-edged sword, exposing the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

• 1 Timothy 3:16: Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. 

4. The Commendation and Application

The message strongly commends and recommends this WRITTEN BOOK for your today and tomorrow, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING — Acts 20:32: 
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED”. 

The call to action is: 
READ it for your good and goodness → SELAH: PAUSE AND THINK → APPLY it in your DOING LIFE and GODLY CAUSE, in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

5. Closing Emphasis

The message closes by acknowledging that not all of Jesus’ works could be contained in books — John 21:25, and that the written WORD, though limited to ink and paper, is sufficient because it is inspired by God — 2 John 1:12, 3 John 1:13. 

Core Burden of the Message: 
Stop treating THE BIBLE like any other book. It is LIVING, it BUILDS, it CORRECTS, it LIGHTS your path, and it is the ONLY BOOK given by God that can produce righteousness and eternal life. Therefore, READ it, PAUSE over it, and DO it.
