The Importance Of The Bible?

Decent Essays
The Bible is important in many ways. It spreads the Word of God, and has caused many projects to be built, such as building hospitals, or charities to cease world hunger. The Bible has indeed inspired many people to carry out what God has wanted for us to accomplish. Inside the Bible, many themes have been displayed and messages have been revealed from God. An example of this would be freedom. God wanted the people of Earth to understand the true meaning of freedom and how people can take it for granted. Aside from the Bible spreading God’s Word and messages for us to live by, versus help motivate people to live by his word and teachings. A personal experience of God’s Word that was involved in my life, would have been when I was in sixth grade, in Social Studies class. I had learned about numerous countries throughout the world that do not have the same freedoms, as the citizens here in the United States. One thing that is …show more content…
God has allowed everyone on Earth to have had the change to have rude things said to them at least once in their life. This is not a bad thing; however, many people think it is. Words tear you up until you are dead inside, but then God allows you to be built back up. He gives you the strength to move on from what happened and allows you to be even more stronger than before. This is because when you are building back up, God is giving you His faith and guidance along with it, so when you are “new,” you are even stronger than before hurtful things were said towards you. Aside from hurtful things that can be said, words can also be good and powerful. God has said things int he Bible to people which gave them hope that better things would come to them. Words from God are powerful because His intentions are to help and guide people throughout their life. So when words are good, it is because God is providing you with news or better change that will enter your

    In the book, Choosing Civility, the author P.M. Forni argues that “the byproduct of doing justice to other is the enrichment of our own lives,” which is exemplified in the rule “speaking kindly.” I agree with Forni, that speaking kindly to others will benefit our lives as we speak kindly more often than not. Most likely there are many people out in the world who believe they speak kindly to others, I am one of those people myself. Throughout researching and testing this rule I have come to find that to speak kindly is not just saying a few nice words, but it is also to not speak ill to others and to also to give praise where needed.…

    As Michael Brown states in What They Don’t Tell you: A Survivor’s Guide to Biblical Studies: a Bible study focuses more on helping people to either understand what God wants in their life or how to be a better Christian. Sometimes Bible study helps solidify theological beliefs, or to develop new theological beliefs. As Brown stated, Bible study is often more of a mid week worship than a scholarly breakdown of the Bible. On the other hand, Biblical study differs from Sunday School because you study more than just the Bible itself. You study the historical context, such as the political climate, economics of the time, laws of the time, etc.…

    In many of Paul's letters, Paul talks about that we are justified by grace through faith. In James' letter, he says faith without works is dead. At a glance, it looks like James is contradicting Paul, but further in and both are going to each other. The Word is inspired by God and is beneficial to us for teaching, correction, reproofing, and for training us in righteousness.…

    Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "Be nice, forgive yourself for making mistakes and then forgive others as you ask God to forgive you, so you can move forward with your life, to grow in grace, mercy, and peace." ~ Jon Barnes Successful Being honest, helpful and successful is about enjoying the love God has given you to share with others and monitoring the successful impact your good work, words, and wisdom has on loved ones, friends and strangers. You cannot do this while living in the past, carrying all of the hurt, disappointments, misunderstandings, and confusion from your heart into the next new great thing you should be doing.

    The Bible was written so that the common man could understand it and follow its commandments. The people also showed a greater interest in their reasoning, rather than the quest for true understanding. Through the use of science, one is able to eliminate ambiguous language and communicate in a more finite and precise language, thus eliminating the…

    Reading Response: The Apology Analysis “Why does Socrates believe himself to be innocent?” The Apology is a record of Socrates defense to his jurors who had charged him with impiety. When taken before the court, a major part of his defense, is that the Oracle at Delphi proclaims him to be the wisest man alive. Later the Oracle gives the reason that he is wise explaining “He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.”. While this statement is a interesting philosophical point, and one that will be discussed later, for now this paper will ask “How does that philosophical point pertain to his innocence?”…

    Lo, I’m With You Always For almost two months the disciples of the Lord had been confused, frustrated and downright scared for their lives. Their Leader had been killed and even though He rose from the dead, He is now telling them that He will soon leave them again.

    The Bible is for us to understand the truth behind the Lord and understand each book in context. We connect with the Lord more and more each time we read the Scriptures and as a result gain something from it. Our effects and outcomes of what we read brings us closer to God as well. Paul states that we must not just read the Scriptures, but merely look at the words, examine them thoroughly, and insure the force and impact with the Bible’s purposes. When we read the Bible, we should not rush through it as if we don’t have time.…
