God Has Planned that We Become Restored to His Image and Live with Him Forever ㅡ

“The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psalm 119:130).

The Bible contains all the principles that men need to understand in order to be fitted either for this life or for the life to come. And these principles may be understood by all....

And even greater is the power of the Bible in the development of the spiritual nature. Man, created for fellowship with God, can only in such fellowship find his real life and development. Created to find in God his highest joy, he can find in nothing else that which can quiet the cravings of the heart, can satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul. He who with sincere and teachable spirit studies God’s Word, seeking to comprehend its truths, will be brought in touch with its Author; and, except by his own choice, there is no limit to the possibilities of his development.

The central theme of the Bible, the theme about which every other in the whole book clusters, is the redemption plan, the restoration in the human soul of the image of God. From the first intimation of hope in the sentence pronounced in Eden to that last glorious promise of the Revelation, “They shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads” (Revelation 22:4), the burden of every book and every passage of the Bible is the unfolding of this wondrous theme-man’s uplifting-the power of God, “which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

He who grasps this thought has before him an infinite field for study. He has the key that will unlock to him the whole treasure house of God’s Word.
