The Bible is the richest treasure of the world! Without it, the palace is a dark blank. With it, the poor cottage sparkles with celestial light. It is the transcript of God's heart. It tells what human reason is too weak to find. It is pure truth without one shadow of error. It gives knowledge on all things needful for time and for eternity. It is a safe guide through life's entangled path. It is a compass through shoals and rocks; amid winds and waves; to Heaven's eternal rest!
The sage is ignorant without it. The peasant learns from it salvation's road. It is a solace for every hour. It is a companion always ready to converse. It cheers when other comforts fail. It is arrayed in every charm for the intellect. It never wearies. It is always fresh. Its oldest truths cannot grow old. Its readers become more wise and more holy.
Other books may puzzle and corrupt. The Bible is from Heaven, and leads to Heaven. It enters the heart with purifying grace. The more you search the Bible the more your minds will wonder, and your hearts will love. Read it as literally true. Then no human philosophy will beguile you. Ponder its characters. You will find on them the intrinsic stamp of truth.
[Henry Law]
Matthew 4:4 ... But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.❤
