Written for a Purpose

Written for a Purpose -  Thirty One

     The Lord reminds you that His word has been written for a purpose.  When the Holy Spirit inspired and carried the ancient writers of the Bible along He had significant redemption in mind.  Each saw something in the Spirit and they recorded it for eternal purposes and meaning.  In John 20:31, we that the Word of God was written to authenticate and backup the divinity of Jesus Christ.  We know who Jesus Christ is because of the Bible. 

     Next, the Word of God as Romans 15:4 says, gives hope to man.  1 Cor 13:13 reminds us that the hope we have is based on our faith in the love of God.  Remember when all else fails these three virtues will stand, faith, hope and love.

     Thirdly, the Word of God reminds us in 2 Cor 10:11, that the example written in the pages of the bible relate human experience as a warning.  You do not have to learn the hard way to come to the Lord.  These examples were written so we could learn from others mistakes and serve the living God.

     Lastly, the Word of God gives knowledge of eternal life.  Jesus said, “He came to give us life.”  This life is both eternal and abundant.  All this is shown in the pages of the Bible.

     The Word for you today is to read, study, meditate and apply the words of the Bible.  They will give you life and knowledge.  You will know God`s plan and purpose for your life.  Heed them and you will live.  Seems a simple choice.
