THE BIBLE - GOD'S HOLY BOOK


This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.

Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.

It contains light to direct you, food to support, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveller's map, the pilgrims staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter.

Christ is its subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. 

It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully.

It is given you in life, will be open in the judgement, and be remembered forever.

It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labour and condemns all who trifle with its holy precepts.
