My new music video is Prayer For a Friend by Casting Crowns. I wrote an essay on my favorite book which is the Bible and so I thought you all might be interested...
My favorite book is the Bible. It's God's Word. The Bible is the best selling book of all time. Reading isn't one of my favorite hobbies, but the Bible is a book that keeps you in suspense, like what's going to happen next. The Bible reveals that God's son, Jesus Christ died on the cross to take or absorb God's wrath so that we can be forgiven of all our sins and pave the way to Heaven. On our part, we need to ask for forgiveness of our sins and commit our lives to God. I like this as a supporting verse to also committing our lives to Him: 1 John 2:4-5 (ESV) says: (Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:) Even after we have converted, the Bible shows us ways that we can grow more Christ-like and also it points out what is sin so we can know what we're doing wrong and repent from them. God tells us in the Bible that He will never leave us nor forsake us and that God unconditionally loves us no matter how many times we mess up. The bottom line is that the Bible is what God uses to tell the Gospel and He commands us to not hide in a hole, but tell others about the Gospel so they may have new life in Him and the Bible is the guide for life. It doesn't have all the answers to all of our questions, but the Bible should have a huge effect on what decisions we make day in and day out.
Paul
