GOD’S WORD

(adapted from writings of Robert J. Morgan:

Nashville Tennessee)

This Book is remarkable.

 The book you’re holding in your hand is high-powered and

life-changing. It’s the most loved book in the world,
having improved more lives, strengthened more hearts,
healed more homes, and motivated more humanitarian
projects than any other book ever written.

(adapted from writings of Robert J. Morgan:

 Ironically, it’s also the most banned, burned, banished,

and vilified book in history. No book has been more hated.
It’s been criticized for 2000 years, yet it has an incredible
way of outliving its enemies.

 The Roman emperor Diocletian, for example, issued an

edict demanding every Bible on earth be destroyed, along
with the people who owned them. But within 25 years,
Diocletian was gone and Rome was paying for the
publication of more Bibles.

 The French skeptic Voltaire predicted that within a

hundred years of his death the Bible would be a forgotten
book. Within 50 years of Voltaire’s death, however, the
Geneva Bible Society was using his house to publish Bibles
for Europe.

 Bernard Ramm wrote, “A thousand times over, the death

knell of the Bible has been sounded, the funeral
procession formed, the inscription cut on the tombstone,
and committal read. But somehow the corpse never stays
put.”

 Today the Bible is more widely translated, published, and

read than in all previous centuries combined. By its
teachings weak people find strength, worried people find
peace, confused people gain answers, and intelligent
people grow wiser.

(adapted from writings of Robert J. Morgan:

 The libraries of the world are filled with books nobody

reads. They’ve served their purpose, passed into oblivion,
and are scarcely missed. But every new generation feels
the Bible was written just for them, and its words are
ever fresh, timely, relevant, and priceless.

 It isn’t a textbook of history, science, or psychology, yet it

speaks truthfully on these subjects. It isn’t a biography,
yet it’s about Jesus Christ first to last. Though it’s a
human book written by fallible men and women, it
rightfully claims to have been breathed out by God and
therefore its words are infinite and infallible.

 The Bible was written in 66 installments over a period of

1500 years by over 40 authors on three continents in 3
languages. It covers hundreds of subjects. Yet it’s a
perfectly unified book, its various sections fitting together
into one consistent tapestry, having a logical beginning, an
unfolding drama, a fitting conclusion, and a central
character around whom every part revolves - Jesus Christ.
