Words to Treasure
Everything written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They encourage us and give us hope.
Romans 15:4
Gene took the present his grandfather offered him. It felt like a book, not exactly the most impressive thing on his Christmas list. He’d rather have a CD or DVD any day. He unwrapped a very, very old leather Bible. What gives or doesn’t give? His grandfather had given him a used book? His grandfather explained, “That Bible has been in our family for a long time. My grandfather’s father gave it to him. My father gave it to me. And now I’m giving it to you.”
God’s holy book and all the words and thoughts written in it are a gift to us. The Bible is a blueprint for how God wants us to live our lives. It tells us all the things God values; it tells us stories about amazing people of faith; and it also tells us about God’s love. The Bible helps us understand more about God. But to learn more about God, we have to spend some time actually reading the Bible. Don’t worry — it won’t be boring. It’s full of adventure and life-changing promises. It can answer some of your deepest questions. The Bible is the most important gift you can ever receive or read. So start now — read the book!
