King James Version
1 Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Within the same day God made me born again, I started reading the Bible.
Where the thickness of the BOOK once intimidated me, I now hungered for what it may tell me about God.
When you're not born again, you'll feel intimidated, and possibly not knowing where to start.
Once you're born again, the HOLY SPIRIT starts teaching you.
And all become clear.
You will also feel the POWER of GOD's WORD, the MAGNIFICENCE of the MINISTRY of JESUS, and the SACREDNESS of SCRIPTURE.
And you will want to live by GOD's WORD.
Thus, this blog.
But let us have the WORD of GOD speak to us -- through these verses.
Deuteronomy 13:3-4
King James Version
3 Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that prophet,
or that dreamer of dreams:
for the Lord your God proveth you,
to know whether ye love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God,
and fear him,
and keep his commandments,
and obey his voice,
and ye shall serve him,
and cleave unto him.
Job 23:12

12 Neither have I gone back
from the commandment of his lips;
I have esteemed the words of his mouth
more than my necessary food.
Psalm 19:7-8
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.
Psalm 119:97

Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures,

and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:14

and dwelt among us,

Romans 3:20-24
King James Version
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law
is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all
and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 10:16-17
King James Version
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
For Esaias saith,
Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover,
brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 4:2
King James Version
2 But have renounced
the hidden things of dishonesty,
not walking in craftiness,
nor handling the word of God deceitfully;
but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man's conscience
in the sight of God.
Galatians 3:22
King James Version
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ
might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 3:23-26
King James Version
23 But before faith came,
we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster
to bring us unto Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come,
we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
King James Version
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because,
when ye received the word of God
which ye heard of us,
ye received it not as the word of men,
but as it is in truth,
the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you
that believe.
2 Timothy 3:14-15
King James Version
14 But continue thou
in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child
thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
King James Version

and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Hebrews 13:9
King James Version
9 Be not carried about with divers
and strange doctrines.
For it is a good thing that the heart be established
with grace;
not with meats,
which have not profited them
that have been occupied therein.
James 1:21-23
King James Version
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness
and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word,
and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Revelation 1:1-3
King James Version
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things
which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand.

the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part
out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city,
and from the things
which are written in this book.
