CONCLUSION: GOD'S WORD THE BIBLE

The stated purpose for the presentation of this topic was to give an overview of the evidence supporting the claim that the Bible is inspired by God and is His written revelation to man. We believe that we have set forth a compelling case to support this claim and hope that many will embrace this point of view for themselves as a result of the information provided.

However to embrace this truth is not the end but actually it is just the beginning. The ultimate purpose in working to bring others to this point of view is to be able then to present other important truth found within the pages of the Bible which is relevant to the life of each person. It has been stated before that the purpose of this web site is to help others understand and embrace God's love for us, His will for our lives and the truth about life which is the key to finding and keeping real happiness. In the Bible man is promised great blessing, peace and hope of everlasting life when he embraces these things through faith in Jesus God's Son. On the other hand man is warned that he will experience tribulation, misery and wrath if he rejects the truth. Nowhere in the New Testament is there room for neutrality. The Bible holds out the prospect of the blessing or the curse; life or death. Every person is either for or against, but none will be permitted to remain uncommitted. Jesus said, "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters." (Matthew 12:30) Knowing these things we cannot remain silent but we warn every man urging all to give the spiritual realities of life the highest priority in their own life.

In Table Talk , part of the introductory pages of this web site, we presented six important points which we believe are the heart and soul of the New Testament message. In the first point we stated that the Bible is God's word to man and in this present topic "God's Word The Bible" we have presented the evidence to justify this claim. Now in the next three topics found in the library, "A Biblical World View", "Jesus God's Son" and "The Gospel Message" we will explain the last five points in greater detail and provide the biblical evidence to support what is presented. Desiring that all embrace the blessing of God, especially regarding personal salvation, and wishing that all avoid the curse which awaits those who reject God, we urge every person to take advantage of what has been provided here and to seek God sincerely and whole-heartedly.

Therefore, having presented the facts regarding the inspiration of the Bible and having provided in the following portions of this web site the knowledge of God's love, God's will and the truth about life, in conclusion, we encourage each reader to press on in further consideration of these things. Finally, we invoke God's word as spoken by Moses to impress upon the heart of all the gravity of the issues of which we speak:

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, {20} by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days..." (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)
