Wisdom In "The Word Of God"

DO YOU recall the last time you received a letter from a loved one who lives far away? Few things bring us as much pleasure as a heartfelt letter from someone we hold dear. We are delighted to hear about his well-being, his experiences and his plans. Such communication brings loved ones closer, even if they are physically far away.

What, then, could bring us more pleasure than to receive a written message from the God we love? Jehovah has, in a sense, written us a "letter" His Word, the Bible. In it he tells us who he is, what he has done, what he purposes to do, and much more. Jehovah has given us his Word because he wants us to be close to him. Our all-wise God chose the best possible way to communicate with us. There is incomparable wisdom in the way the Bible is written and in what it contains.
