If I Had Not Closed The Book

ForeverJesus7

Does the Bible,

help save people?

Of course it does.

Still, in order to,

truely have salvation,

one must first,

take offence to the Bible.

Let me elaborate.

I can honestly say,

as a Christian,

that the gospel of Christ Jesus,

offends people.

Had I just simply,

and willingly accepted God's word,

I do not feel,

that I would be truely saved.

To truely know Christ,

one must know the word.

So when reading the word,

before we have Christ,

it would be,

in our sinful nature,

to wrestle,

with first accepting the Word.

Had I not tried,

to first resist,

the Word of God,

then I would not,

have felt it's power.

The Gospel offends those,

in different ways,

who do not believe,

in Christ Jesus.

    HI DION ~ When we read the BIBLE we are on very HOLY GROUND. There are many *Holy Books* in the Libraries of the World but only the BIBLE is the ONLY TRUE & ETERNAL WORD of GOD. This is why Gideons International are allowed to Place Copies of the BIBLE in Hotels ~ Hospitals ~ Prisons & Schools etc in over 200 COUNTRIES.

    When we study the BIBLE with an OPEN MIND:
    1. It claims to be the WORD of GOD
    2. In its content (as one reads) It seems to be the WORD of GOD
    3. In its life changing effect ~ It proves to be the W ord of GOD ~ AMEN

    Blessings & Peace & Joy to You & Yours
    Love in the Spirit Angela & Brian 💛💛💛

    Woah interesting. My religion actually asks us to research and not follow blind faith without scrutinising it , so I did dissect and prod my religion and after that was convinced of its truth. So your poem is super, great to read it. Kudos.

    Pls do read and comment my newest poem too.
