 If you don't have a Bible you need to get one, it is the most important
book you can own. It is the Book of the Covenant of God to mankind. It
is the source and the goal of our Study.
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of
salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its
decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you,
and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the
soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven
opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God
its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a
river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgement,
and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will
reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred
contents.
