Daily Remembrancer

January 29 Morning: "Search the Scriptures" - Jn 5:39

THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD, HIS REVELATION TO MAN. Without the Bible man has no knowledge of God: His nature, perfections, purposes, will, providence, and salvation plan for man - these remain a mystery. It contains all that is necessary to be known of man's origin, creation, fall and redemption. It should be read carefully, prayerfully, frequently, and systematically; every part of the Bible should be read, meditated upon, and prayed over. It makes us wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. We cannot understand the Scriptures, or gather spiritual profit therefrom but by the Holy Spirit: nor should we expect to be taught the mind of God but by the Scriptures. Praying, reading, and meditating, should go together. Let the Bible be your daily light. By it God illumines your soul, sanctifies your nature, directs your footsteps, and gives you joy and peace. Which Bible should one read? Not any of the popular modern English versions (which have been doctored and corrupted), but the beloved King James Bible or Authorised Version 1611. This is the Reformation Bible, the most trustworthy and faithful translation which preserves every vital doctrine of the faith perfectly. It is the only Bible untouched by the corrupting influences of liberal theology and the ecumenical leaven.

For Meditation:
O may Thy counsels, mighty God,
My roving feet command!
Ne'er I stray from the narrow road
That leads me to the Lamb.
