The Greatest

The Bible is the greatest book ever written for several reasons. First, it is uniquely design to assist each and every human being in their growth and development into upright and productive individuals(2 Tim. 3:15,16,17). The result they achieve through disciple and obedience to God's instructions affects their lives and the lives of others around them positively- in the end good prevails(Eccl. 12:13). Secondly, it provides  hope by explaining the reasons why things are the way they are and what's about to happen before it happens(Rom. 15:4). God uses the Bible to help build our faith in Him. Because by reading it we are not blind to the workings and operations of God; and through faith in the word the past, present, and future is revealed to us( Deut. 29:29, Is. 43:9) . So, as the prophecy comes to pass our faith grows as we see the written word coming into reality. Finally, this Book excels all other books, because the author is God himself. He also signed it by imprinting His very spirit into each and every letter so that the Book would be a living testimony of Himself for all His people(2 Peter 1:20,21). And to prove that the Bible is real, He caused it to be transformed into a living human being two thousand years ago, as prophesied throughout His Book,  in the person of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth- the King of Israel( John 1:1,14). And not only this, but to prove His word is eternal and ever-living, as He said it was, He raise Jesus back to life from the grave and set him in the holiest of holy places-next to Himself in heaven. And it is this same Jesus He has set to be the final judge of all men, both the living and the dead at the end of the world, as it is written( Acts 17:30,31). The Bible truly is without comparison among the millions and millions of books ever written(Eccl. 12:12,13,14).
