Bible Resources and Interesting Facts
No one is saved by buying a Bible he does not use, nor is one saved by reading a Bible he does not obey.
The Bible contains:
The mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, and the doom of
sinners. It's doctrines are holy, and it's precepts are binding, and it's
histories are true.
To read it is to be wise, to believe in it is to be safe, and to live it is to
be holy.
