Sola scriptura

Reading has always been one of my favorite activity. Books stores has always fascinated me and often I get rapt between the pages and lines. It stuns me the way some writers pour their heart in those black font and with their creativity of translating experience both good or bad they penetrate into your mind. From comics to Rupyard Kilping to Tolstoy to Bunyan to Napoleon Hill to Stephen King to Deepk Chopra to Stephen Covey to Chuck swindoll and more. From I traveled from Mandrake to Phantom to Sherlock Holmes to Fictions to philosophy to inspirations to politics to theology and few others . I enjoyed reading and gained for nothing . But encountering the LOGOS , the written word of the GOD, the Bible was a different experience. Someone wrote “I have read many books, but the Bible reads me”

Though its oldest yet the most refreshing , its multi authored yet the most unique. Written in different background and time but conveys same meaning. Contributed by written by fisherman , physicians , herdsman, a cupbearer to a king, a tentmaker, tax collectors, kings, prophets, leaders, evangelists. Written from Asia, Africa, Europe, but its organized so genuinely by non other than the almighty that any reader can realize harmony in writing. It is indeed the Sola scriptura, speaking about God and his plan to redeem mankind. It proves beyond doubt that God is Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent. It proves
Sola scriptura
Sola fide
Sola gratia
Solus Christus
Soli Deo gloria

I could not comprehend the divinity of the scripture in my mind. Nothing else gave me the quest to hold more, to search more, Nothing else gave me peace. Nothing else transformed me, Nothing else transmuted me. And for sure I can sing

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid, think I've lost my way,
Still You're there right beside me.
And nothing will I fear as long as You are near.

It was in a ICPF camp in Pune, that I attended a session about “Quite time”. The session was conducted by D Joshua. The session changed my outlook towards bible. The session sowed the seed in my heart and it took months and years for the seed to grow into a tree. It was a book for me then, now it’s a scripture , its Holy for me . it transforms , heals , teaches, sanctifies.

This is not a human creativity . Only after reading, meditation and applying it , you will recognize its power. A person has NO RIGHT to judge anything without APPLYING it. What do you think of a person who speaks about you even without , meeting or taking to you ? how can a person rate a medicine without using it ? Bible say For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

I have read that Life-transforming ideas have always come through books. But those ideas may not be applicable to every reader coz as it reflects the idea of an author based on his view and understanding. But God created everything, when he writes , its don’t remain as ideas. It indeed transforms. He is the beginning as it says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The human society has advanced beyond imagination, science is moving higher above the skies and deeper then the seas. But the nothing has overcome the truth of the bible and will not. Its unquestionable that Bible has been the most influential book ,best and biggest seller. The impact of bible is not limited to moral, spiritual and political development but also in culture, arts , traditions, law making, literature, education, coining of the constitutions in the western world. It has reshaped the civilization. It changed , is changing and will change.

For me nothing has changed me other then the WORD OF GOD. Nothing has made a mark on my life than the Gospel message. Reading it is a way of discovering. Its unadulterated, perfect, inerrant, reliable , true, has life and its Holy. The bible removes the darkness of ignorance, it cleans and helps you to remain clean. It saves you from the bondage, it frees you from fear, guides you to the correct path , it gives assurance . Above all its brings you to SALVATION.

You cant assume the dept of the sea just by standing on the shore it, you cant understand the vastness of it. All you can see is water. Swim and go deep , then you would know how deep it is, there is world inside it, there are beautiful creatures of God that swim and celebrate there existence in it, it has life, creates energy and the waves can even wash an entire city by its wrath. You cant see that by staring into a sea. Don’t just stand there. Take a deliberate step to understand it , it will Change you for GOD. It will grow your determination it will give you more ammo to withstand the negativisms of Life If I am determined to deny something, no matter what I will keep on denying it. And unless there is a pursuit to know the truth I cannot overcome the ignorance. Try and then you have right to accept or deny . Else you are just following what other has spoke or believed with no knowledge of the origin of denial.

Bible says "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness” and Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way..

Best bible is the READ bible.
