It's All In the Bible
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
We
couldn’t help hearing it! This woman had a voice that could be heard at
considerable distance and we distinctly heard her say: “I doped it all
out from the Bible.”
“Well, at least somebody’s interested in the Bible,” we said to each other.
But
as she prattled on it turned out that she had used the records in an
old family Bible to establish her claim to part of an estate. These
records, introduced in court, had won the case for her.
There
was, after all, no indication that she was interested in the Bible —
only in those pages between the Old and New Testaments which, in some
editions of the Bible, are kept for family records.
Actually
she was no different from the masses about us who go about from day to
day interested only in the things of this life and ignoring almost
completely the things that really matter: God, heaven, hell and their
own eternal destiny.
If
these people only knew what treasures are to be found in the Bible!
Among these are “riches of mercy” (Ephesians 2:4), “riches of grace”
(Ephesians 1:7), “riches of glory” (Philiippians 4:19), “riches of wisdom and knowledge” (Romians 11:33),
“the riches of the full assurance of understanding” (Colossians 2:2),
“the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8). And the best part
of it is that anyone may have these riches simply for the asking:
“For there is no difference… for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him,
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:12,13).
