view as web pdf THE BIBLE CONTAINS...

The mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions are unchangeable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practise its teachings to be holy.

It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveller's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's charter. The Kingdom will be restored on earth, Christ will be its grand Ruler, good its design, and the glory of God its end.

The Bible should fill the memory and rule the heart: read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened in the Judgement, and will be remembered for ever.

It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labour, and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents. For courage for your task: Joshua 1:8.

Bro. Henderson M. Sosola, (Mtenthela Ecclesia, Malawi.)
