The Bible is God's great revelation to man and its authority is incontestable, because it represents God's will and God's will is always fulfilled.

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

Jesus made it clear that His Word will always be fulfilled, word for word, letter for letter.

Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

But, in the Christian environment we see situations, which in my evaluation, could only be called "MAD, CRAZY", and one of these situations is:

Many Christians say they believe that God created the heavens and the earth, but they don't believe that God has inspired men, through the Holy Spirit, to write the Bible.

That is, these people believe that GOD HAS POWER to create the heavens and the earth, but they do not believe that GOD HAS POWER to inspire men to write a book, the Bible.

WHICH IS A TOTAL INCOHERENCE, CRAZY.

The interesting and sad thing is that the vast majority of people who do not believe that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit, NEVER READ IT COMPLETELY, in order to be able to conclude something in favor or against their own thesis.

Another sad observation is that even people who believe that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit, for the most part, these people do not read the Bible constantly and NEVER READ IT COMPLETELY.

IT IS DUTY of every Christian to know the Bible, because it is through this knowledge that the great revelations of God will be given to his people.

The lack of knowledge of the Word of God leads people to be easily deceived by the devil, being carried away by any "wind" of doctrine or teaching.

This lack of knowledge was lamented by God when He said:

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.

Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Therefore:

• It is necessary you read the Bible.

• It is necessary you know the will of God.

• It is necessary you know God's values.

• It is necessary you know the authority of God and the authority He has given us.

• IT IS NECESSARY YOU KNOW YOUR GOD.

The use of the Word of God is essential for you to win your daily struggles, because, Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Jesus will soon return and He will judge us based on what is written in the Bible, then, "ONLY A MADMAN WOULD NOT KNOW IT".

Remember: Revelation 22:6 The angel said to me, These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
