King James Version
97 O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
Yesterday, the Holy Spirit gifted me with something.
He imprinted my mind with these exact words:
"That all men may know the BIBLE,
and live by it."
Automatically, that became this blog's description.
So very apt, in these critical, deciding days.
When you serve Spirit, He teaches you ALL you NEED to KNOW.
And He led me to the importance of the Bible.
Why must we know the Bible?
Why must we live by it?
These verses reveal why.
Deuteronomy 29:29
King James Version
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God:
but those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law.
Psalm 19:7-11
King James Version
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul:
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring for ever:
the judgments of the Lord
are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
yea,
than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Psalm 119:97-119
King James Version
97 O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments
hast made me wiser than mine enemies:
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word.
Psalm 119:103-107
King James Version
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn,
and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much:
quicken me,
O Lord,
according unto thy word.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation

revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Hebrews 4:12
King James Version
12 For the word of God is quick,

piercing even to the dividing asunder
of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
James 1:25
King James Version
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.
