I have noticed that The Bible and it's implications in today's society have recently been issues of debate in the blogging arena. You can read what my good friends have written about it here: www.unitedinpassion.blogspot.com and www.rogeraubrey.typepad.com

The Word of God and its authenticity seems to be constantly under attack in today's society. I went to see The Da Vinci Code yesterday and, although I thought it was a good film, it does worry me that people will interpret it as truth. In essence, the film is a total attack on Jesus' divinity and the authenticity of the Bible.

If we take away Jesus' divinity, we take away the whole purpose of His life, death and resurrection. We take away the one true atoning sacrifice that reconciles man to God. Jesus WAS and IS and ALWAYS WILL BE the eternal, begotten Son of God. John the Baptist said of Him: "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."

I know that Jesus is God because He is my saviour and He lives in my heart. He guides me in the way everlasting and has made a way for us where there once was no way.

"Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so."

This is a verse from a very old song, but it is a song I love because of it's simplicity. I know Jesus died for me and loves me because the Bible tells me so. Such faith is not blind faith, but faith of total assurance of salvation, righteousness and peace with God. ("Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1)

Salvation is found in Jesus alone. He is the only way way to God, the only truth and the only life. Not only did He die, but was raised to life and is now seated at the highest place of honour. The proof of this is that He has now poured out His promised Holy Spirit, so that we (His church) could be clothed with power from on high. I am so glad that Jesus has revealed Himself to me, that God would use me in His sovereign plan. Do you want to know the real Jesus today? The Jesus who holds the whole universe together by His powerful Word. Why don't you ask Him to reveal Himself? Ask Him to reveal Himself to you today as you read His Word, The Bible!
