Straight to the Point
The Bible, from the beginning to the end is about Jesus; it's about God revealing or guiding us the way to gain eternal life. Remember we are His creation and He wants the best for us. One of the things we must do is study the Bible not lightly but diligently. If you study diligently no one can cheat or trick you. Hosea 4:6 (NIV) states: My people are destroyed from lack o--f knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priest; because you have ignored the law of thy God, I will also ignore your children. The Apostol John in John 5:39-40(NIV) states: You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet, you refuse to come to me to have life.These two verses have inspired me to write this book and encourage you to acquire more biblical knowledge diligently, the way He wants it to be done.
