Title What is the Bible?
Contents 2 Timothy 3:15-17 The Bible is a mirror that reflects me.
There are some books in the upper office. If there are many, there are many. I've read almost all of them except for a few. Some books were read in a matter of hours, and some were read in two or three days. Feature novels take a few days, but once you've read them, you'll barely understand them, so they aren't fun to read again. Of course, there are books that I have read over and over again. But if you read it two or three times, it's no longer fun. Same goes for the Three Kingdoms.
What about the Bible we have? One volume is 1331 pages in the Old Testament / 423 pages in the New Testament. Of course, there are some differences / Total less than 2000 pages / Not a lot.
This Bible is so strange. It's new to look at. Even though I have read nearly 40 books, it is new again when I read it again today.
Some people say it's too difficult / Giving birth / I don't know what you're talking about / Even if you don't know, it's better to read it / There are people who haven't read it / They speak only by hearing without reading it / - Inaccurate / There are many misunderstandings - The Fruit of Good and Evil (Why did you make it in the first place? / Do not get drunk - Not eat it / The Bible has many interesting things.

Telephone Congratulatory - 1 John 4:18 - Reading

- The messenger wrote it down and sent it to John 4:18
= I came to my honeymoon and read it in my hotel room
John 4:18 “You have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband; you are true.”
The Bible literally says ah~ different and uh~ different. Because of this, there are false teachings, false churches, and denominations that are heresy or sectarian. Therefore, in order to properly live your life of faith, you must read the Bible. In order to live a right life of faith, you must know the Bible properly. You must read and read the Bible to lead a right life of faith and a right life of faith.
Last week, I said that reading the Bible builds faith.
The more you read the Bible, the more faith you build. The more you listen to the words of the Bible, the more you will have faith. I think it's the same with people's lives,
It seems that trust and trust in each other can be built only when we meet and talk frequently.
It's really dangerous to just have a conversation with someone you don't know at all.
If you watch, hear, and practice for a long time, you will develop faith like a real brother.
The same is true in the life of faith.
There are times when faith is built up overnight, but there are also times when faith develops over time. The important thing is that faith comes from reading / hearing the Word of God. Therefore, it is not to cover up and live by faith without reading the Bible once.
Please open it up and read one page or one verse. When you read, change begins. It is a change in beliefs.

Second, the Bible is a mirror for Christians.
The function of the mirror:
- The Bible: Make me see. - See the spiritual side.
- Lets see the current state - Diagnosis
- I have to look in the mirror / often.
have to look closely.
need to take a closer look
- The Bible/ You must read, listen and meditate on frequently - Those who meditate day and night (Psalm 1:2)
You must look closely - keep the Word close (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
You must meditate on verse by verse
- Through the Bible / Reflect on your faith - My faith (Enoch, Noah, Abraham, David, Daniel)
Reflect on your personality - Saul, Joseph, Jonathan, Barnabas, Zacchaeus
Reflect on your own life - Job (for the children), Naomi, the woman of Suga,
Be Like Jesus - The Final Life of a Christian / Be Like Jesus

: God's sincerity given to those who believed and acted - Repaying, fulfilling
: To enjoy eternal happiness with the Lord - Heaven is guaranteed / Peaceful death / Blessing of children - No worries
Third, the Bible enables us to live a powerful life.
Acts 4:29 “Lord, now also look on their threats, and grant your servants to speak the word of God with boldness.”
- The apostles, who were trembling with fear, were filled with the Holy Spirit and preached the word of God boldly to the members of the early church who were afraid, especially in verse 30, “Stretch out your hand and heal them, and signs and wonders will come in the name of your holy servant Jesus. Let it be done, he said,
Signs and wonders - Apostles - Walking crippled by the beautiful temple / Various sick people are healed
- Giving you the ability to heal diseases / Physical, psychological, family..
- Pregnancy (only if God opens it)
- Children - Augustine (Monica) Healing
It also includes the promise that you will not be lonely in a powerful life.
Matthew 28:20 “Teach them to obey all that I have commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”
Isaiah 41:31 But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength, and they will soar up like eagles with wings; they will run and not get weary, they will walk and not get weary.
1 John 5:4 “Everyone who is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.”
According to the Bible, we are by no means weak.
- Paper / iron plate
- Wrapped in Jesus
Heavenly armies of angels surround us and protect us / Of course, there are difficulties and difficulties, but
It will never break us / The Lord has permitted it.
This is to strengthen our faith.
Dear saints,
The Bible is a love letter given by God because he loves us. This letter was written to love us and to bless us. We must read that love letter.
You can have faith through reading, and with that faith you can please God.
By reading love letters and listening to their interpretations, you will discover your present self. Wash me and beautify me so that I can please my dear Lord. Jesus is praying for me not to lose faith. We must meet Jesus through the Bible. We must live a life of walking with Jesus through the Bible.
The Lord loves you. How great and precious you are is recorded in the Bible. I pray that the love of the Lord may overflow with you every moment.
