The Bible is a living Book and can be trusted for its advice and direction and knowledge of God.
~ Billy Graham
[God] speaks from heaven through the Bible, His written Word. This is why I use the phrase “the Bible says.” I would not have the authority to say what I do in sermons unless it was based upon the Word of God.
We should read the Bible expectantly, systematically, and obediently . . .The Bible can change our lives as we read it and obey its teachings every day.
God has spoken to us through a Book: the Bible.
No book ever takes the place of the Bible. It is its own best commentary.
Most of us do not understand nuclear fission, but we accept it . . . Why is it so easy to accept manmade miracles and so difficult to accept the miracles of the Bible?
The Bible is God’s gift to us. It came from God, and it points us to God.
The Bible is a guidebook, leading men [and women] to God in a personal faith. Like a map or guidebook, it will show you the way, but you must take it one step at a time.
The Bible is to your soul what bread is to your body. You need it daily. One good meal does not suffice for a lifetime.
I’m afraid most Bibles remain unopened and unread. Don’t let this be true of yours!
The vitality [of] the Bible [is] exhibited in every generation . . .Its power to transform lives is its best apologetic.
There is nothing which indicates the inspiration of the Scriptures more than the factual and faithful record of men and their failures . . .These records are for our warning and instruction. They show us how sinful man needs God.
Just as the Bible is God’s written Word, so Jesus is God’s living Word.
One can approach the Bible with a cold, rationalistic attitude, or one can do so with reverence and the desire to hear God speak.
I do not understand why reading the Bible in public should make others feel uncomfortable . . . it may be such an example that serves to remind them of the Book they have neglected.
The [Bible’s] message is concerned with earth dwellers, their origin, the reason for their existence, the cause of their misery, and the plan of redemption for a fallen race.
We are not free to pick and choose the parts of the Bible we want to believe or obey. God has given us all of it, and we should be obedient to all of it.
Psalms teaches us how to relate to God, and Proverbs teaches us how to relate to others.
The Bible is our authority in everything it touches. This means the Bible is our guide to show us how to live . . . it is our instructor.
The Bible has stood the test of time because it is divinely inspired by Almighty God, written in ink that cannot be erased by any man, religion,or belief system.
The Word does not change. The Dead Sea scrolls, archeology, modern science—they do not change the Bible; they confirm it.
Man has not changed. Man still rejects the testimony of the Scripture.
Don’t take your Bible for granted! For centuries ordinary believers had no access to the Bible; Bibles had to be painstakingly copied by hand and were very expensive. The only access most people had to the Bible was by hearing it read in church. The invention of the printing press changed all that, however, and today the Bible is readily available in multiple translations and hundreds of languages around the world.
Every generation has found [the Bible’s] message indispensable, and its influence on individuals and society over the centuries has been enormous.
God’s laws for the spiritual world are found in the Bible. Whatever else there may be that tells us of God, it is more clearly told in the Bible.
The Bible will always be the center of controversy.
The only place we can find a clear, i unmistakable message is in the Word of God [the Bible].
We should begin the day with the Bible, and as it comes to a close let the Word speak its wisdom to our souls. Let it be the Staff of Life upon which our spirit is nourished. Let it be the Sword of the Spirit which cuts away the evil of our lives and fashions us in His image and likeness.
The central theme of the Bible is salvation, and the central personality of the Bible is Christ.
In the Bible God speaks to us, in prayer we speak to God. Both are essential.
The Bible is to be our basis of authority. We must “by faith” accept [Jesus] as the Son of the living God. This sounds narrow and intolerant, and in a sense it is!
People from all walks of life are searching for answers to life’s problems. I believe the Bible has the answer to man’s deepest needs.
The main “food” God has given to strengthen us is the Bible, the Word of God.
Each of us has our reference point and as a Christian the reference point by which I measure my life and thought is the Bible.
I don’t think people can live without hope. What oxygen is to the lungs, hope is to our survival in this world. And the Bible is filled with hope.
The Bible is not an option, it is a necessity. You cannot grow spiritually strong without it.
The Bible is the constant fountain for faith, conduct, and inspiration from which we drink daily.
God gave the Bible to us because He wants us to know Him and love Him and serve Him. Most of all, He gave it to us so we can become more like Christ.
Some of the strongest warnings about judgment in the Bible come from the lips of Jesus.
Man is precisely what the Bible says he is. Human nature is behaving exactly as the Bible said it would. The course of human events is flowing just as Christ predicted.
