The Word of God
According to Wikipedia’s list of best-selling books-
Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities is history’s top novel, followed by The Lord of the Rings, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), and The Hobbit — each selling more than 100 million copies.
But none of those compare with the circulation or impact of the Bible-
– which is by far the most widely distributed book on earth and in history.
If you’re facing a crisis-
– how much strength do you find in A Tale of Two Cities?
If you need spiritual encouragement-
– do you turn to The Lord of the Rings?
These may be enjoyable reads.
But they can’t bring-
– salvation to our hearts,
– life to our souls,
– strength to our spirits, or
– heaven to our pathways.
While we treasure the heritage of good literature-
– only one book is given by inspiration of God.
Welcome, read, and obey the Bible each day-
– not as the word of men,
– but as it is in truth,
– the Word of God,
– which also effectively works in those who believe.
