The Bible is called “The Word of God” and for good reason. The canon of scripture handed down to us contains the creation account, the prophecy of the coming Messiah, and the arrival of the promised baby which we celebrate at Christmas Time. When that baby grew up to be a man He suffered and died for our sins, was resurrected and ascended back into heaven where He pleads to the Father on our behalf. What a story, and the full account is faithfully recorded for us in the Bible.
Someone who can save us, and ensure our place in heaven is truly the Messiah, the Christ, Son of the Living God, Emmanuel, God with us! Since the Bible contains the very words of life, how do we treat it? With respect? Do we read it regularly? Take it to church? It has been 500 years since Martin Luther started a movement which would result in the Bible being made available to everyone in the land. People of conviction died and many were tortured to give us this freedom which thankfully remains until this day, and all that is left for us to do, is read it. We are indeed blessed to have the Word of God freely available, and the choice is ours to read it thankfully, or ignore it.
The aim is to provide a stimulating mix of personal opinions (from a mainstream Christian worldview), and associated comments, which will be accepted and published if they comply with the usual courtesy and decency.
