I 100% agree with what Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”. The Bible makes it clear that even though man wrote down the words that are found in it that God is the One who inspired those who wrote it. “Prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:21). It wasn’t different for the Apostle Paul when he was writing about Abraham’s faith. Paul said, “Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us” (Romans 4:23-24a).
And Paul states the reason why later on in his letter, because “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17). The more you hear the Word of God, the more your faith will grow. Your faith will grow in direct proportion to what you hear. So, the Bible’s purpose is to reveal some of God’s thoughts and the history of His people so that we can know Him and His plan and purpose of our salvation through the perfect Lamb of God. Everyone who accepts Jesus Christ by faith can be saved and accepted by God.
This was Apostle John’s whole purpose in writing down his gospel account in John 20:30-31, “ And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” I encourage us all to take the time every day and read what God has given to us in His Word, because it is written for our benefit. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16). The more you know the Word of God, the more you can know God and develop your relationship with Him. And as I have said many times, in the times we are living in it becomes increasingly important to be grounded in the Word of God.
