When Wisdom Alone Will Protect Us
True wisdom will soon 'preserve alive its owners' in an unprecedented way - protection through the fast-approaching "great tribulation," when God destroys the wicked. (Matthew 24:21) At that time people will be throwing their money into the streets as "an abhorrent thing," according to the Bible. Why? Because they will have learned the hard way that gold and silver will not buy them life during the day of Jehovah's fury." (Ezekiel 7:19) On the other hand, "a great crowd," who prudently 'stored up their treasures in heaven' by putting spiritual interests first in their life, will benefit from their sure investment and gain eternal life in a paradise earth. -Revelation 7:9, 14; 21:3, 4; Matthew 6:19, 20.
How can we gain the secure future? Jesus answers: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John17:3) Millions have found this knowledge in God's Word,the Bible. Not only do such ones have a wonderful hope for the future but they also experience a measure of peace and security now. It is just as the psalmist expressed: "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you yourself alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in security." -Psalm 4:8.
Can you think of any other source of information that can help reduce risks to your health and life to the extent that the Bible does? No other book has the Bible's authority and no other book can help you find true security in today's risk-filled world. Why not examine it further?
