Why the Bible?
The Bible was written by many different authors (40), over many years (2,000 or so from Moses – 1500 B.C. to John – 90 A.D.) with one Divine purpose. If the Bible is God’s Word, that means it is God’s Word to man.
The Apostle Paul wrote that, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16), that is divinely inspired and given unto man all the way from Moses through the Apostle Paul.
So how is the Word of God useful for us? In this case it can be a guide for us, a measuring stick to compare our thoughts with what is written.
Matthew 4:10 “For it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
The written Word of God gives us a guide post for our lives, just as the commandments did for the Children of Israel, 3000 years ago. God bless.
