      The Bible Is Not Open To Personal Interpretation

      Sep 23, 2022

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      Introduction

      Think about when the Christmas season arrives. Many of us become preoccupied with giving and receiving gifts.

      For some people, Christmas is a very painful time because they do not have the resources to give what they wish they could. For others, Christmas time is painful because it reminds them of lost relationships and loved ones. And for others still, it is a time of joy and celebration as they spend time with family and friends.

      Like Christmas, when our children or other special people have birthdays, many of us think about what gifts we can give. And maybe you’ve received a gift for your birthday or some other holiday that meant a lot to you. Maybe the gift had a deep sentimental value or it reflected a big sacrifice on the part of the giver.

      There is one gift, holding both the deepest sentimental value and reflecting the greatest sacrifice possible, that I’d like for everyone who reads this to receive freely.

      This gift—the gift of forgiveness, goodness, and eternal life—is the greatest gift you could ever be given. And it’s not from me. I’m just telling you where to go to get it.

      The sacrifice needed to give this gift is the very life of the One who gives it. And He gives this gift freely to anyone who wants it.

      And I want you to accept this gift with rejoicing and to let the value and power of this gift give you a reason to experience joy despite anything that might be happening in your life.

      Chapter One: Searching

      Have you ever just searched—maybe you’ve searched the internet, not really knowing what it is you’re looking for. Or you’ve wandered a store wondering what could help your life. Or in some other way you’ve searched and longed for the
