Psalm 31:3(KJV)
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.The Bible is very unique book in itself. It tells of this world in three perspectives, Times Past, But Now,
and the Ages to Come. It tells of the beginning. It tells us of now, the Dispensation of the Grace of God,
and it also tells us of the Ages to Come, or the future that has not happened as of yet. It will not always
be this way though. Time is swiftly passing. Each moment, of each hour, of each day, of each week.
James 4:14(KJV)
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Matthew 7:13(KJV)
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat(at that place):The World offers you many false god's like buddah, molech, alah, eastern msyticism, catholicism, and
the list keeps getting larger every day. Peace treaties signed and broken. Governments rise and fall.
So if all the many ways are wrong, there must be at least one way. One that leads to salvation of man.
Matthew 7:14(KJV)
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.John 14:6(KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.My friend(s), Jesus Christ is the answer. He is our only hope. Is is the Straight Gate. He is the Way. He is
the Truth. He is the Life. Is is our ALL in ALL. He came that me may have life, and have it more abundant.
John 10:9(KJV) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Now that we have looked at the Law and Prophets. We have seen there many paths, but one true Path.
But did you know, with out these quotes from the Bible you would know this information? Now to the
point I am making. The Bible is a Map, a Light, a Compass, a Sword, a Shield, etc. It is basically a
fully functional GPS Navigation System. You just need to know how to use it, or it will not work for you.
Just like a GPS, if you do not know how to use it the right way, you will end up frustrated, and going the
wrong way. Trust me, I have done this with both a GPS and my Bible. You must be saved for it to work!
If you are not saved, you will not get anywhere with the Bible. Why is that? Look at the verses below.
Romans 8:6(KJV)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.1 Corinthians 2:14(KJV)
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.An unsaved man or woman and the Bible is like a person with a new GPS and no knowledge of how to
use it. That's why they come with an instruction manual. Salvation comes in a simular way. The one who
preaches the Word of God is your instruction manual. He is the one who that you turn to be pointed to
Christ, and salvation. The Bible then becomes your everything. It will then start coming to life before you
and the words will seem to jump off the page. It is not the job of the preacher only to point you to the
way of Christ. It is the job of every saved person to be a witness for Jesus Christ. To share Christ with
all who we come accross. We all need to be pointer for Christ. So how do you get saved?
1 Timothy 1:16(KJV)
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.Act 16:3(KJV)1
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,...2 Timothy 3:15(KJV)
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.Once one has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, they need to read the Bible every day to
grow and develope and a new creation of God. Realize that you are now a Saint. Do not let anyone
try to tell you differently. You area not what you were before. You are a Saint. If you have not believed in
vain, you already possess the gift of redemption, and the forgiveness of all of your sins. Everyone. All!
2 Corinthians 5:17(KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.Colossians 2:13(KJV)
And you(The Entire Body of Christ), being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;2 Timothy 2:15(KJV)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Titus 3:5(KJV)
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;Romans 12:2(KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.You need to study the Book of Romans. Stay there. Do not worry about what others may suggest or
tell you. Stay in Romans. That is your basis and grounding area in the Word. Christ is the foundation.
Especially study Romans Chapters 6, 7, and 8 over and over untill you can get the doctrine into your
inner self. Sound Doctrine is very much needed to grow in Grace. Do not worry about the Law. It can
not save you.
Ephesians 1:7(KJV) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Titus 1:9(KJV)
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.2 Thessalonians 2:16(KJV)
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,Romans 3:28(KJV)
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. And remember, the Apostle Paul is our pattern. He was the Grace giver to us as Moses was the Law
