An ancient psalmist said in his prayer to God: "Your word is a lamp for my foot, and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105) Consider how the Bible-God's Word-is just that.
On a dark night, a lamp helps us decide where to walk. Likewise the Bible contains a practical wisdom that can guide us when we need to make a difficult decision.
A light can illuminate our path so that we can see what is farther ahead. In a similar way, the Bible can illuminate our view of what the future holds.
The Bible is a sacred book that not only traces man's history from the start but also provides genuine hope for the future. It answers these questions:
How?
How suffering began: The Bible says that "Through one man sin entered into the world an death through sin, an so death spread to all men because they had sinned." - ROMANS 5:12.
Why?
Why human rule has failed to fix our problems: The Bible says that "It does not belong to man who waking even to direct his step." (Jeremiah 10:23) A look at the world scene confirms that fact.
What?
What God will do to address the situation: The Bible show that "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will outcry nor pain be anymore." - REVELATION 21:4.
