Study6A...It is true to say that our love for the Bible is like a thermometer by which we may tell the temperature of our love for the Lord Himself.

Study 6A . WHY WE LOVE THE BIBLE
Key-verse: “Oh, how I love your law!” (Psalm 119:97)
In Psalm 119 we only have to compare verses 16, 24, 47, 103, 111, 113, 119, 127, 128, 140, 159 and 162 with the key-verse of this study (verse 97) to see how much the psalmist loved God’s Word. It is true to say that our love for the Bible is like a thermometer by which we may tell the temperature of our love for the Lord Himself.
Think of Stephen, whose preaching was filled with the Word of Truth (Acts chapters 6 and 7). He was martyred for his love for God’s Word, and thousands have followed. Why did David love God’s “law”? Why do we love the Bible? We could give forty answers to this question, forty reasons for loving the Bible! Here are four worth considering,but in this part we will be considering one out of four and we shall conclude it in the next part...God bless you.
1 . THIS BOOK CONVICTS THE SINNER
The Bible is the instrument the Holy Spirit uses to show man that he is a sinner. Only the Holy Spirit can convict or convince of sin, and He does it with the sword-thrust of the Word, of which He is the Author - look up and compare John 16:8 with Ephesians 6:17 and Hebrews 4:12. The Bible shows us that we are sinners, and this is one reason why many do not read the Bible; it shows them their sinful state and their sinful actions. For example, look up Ecclesiastes 7:20; Isaiah 53:6; John 8:7-9 and Romans 3:10-23. The Bible not only declares that all men are sinners, but it states that because of our sin we are dead (Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:1); and we are lost (Luke 19:10 and 2 Corinthians 4:3). How strange to love the Bible when it shows us to be sinful, dead and lost! But that is a very good reason for loving it! If we were in a burning building and someone came in to warn us, surely we would love that friend for saving us. It is for this reason that we love God’s Word. It shows us our sinful, lost, dead condition, and it leads us to seek salvation (Isaiah 55:6). This Book convicts the sinner, and the convicted sinner becomes a seeker.
My question is,Has Bible(HIS WORD) had any effect on your life( spiritual, academic, marital,financial, business)? Learn from Zacchaeus(Luke 19:1-10),A positive change happened in his life that very day.see you in the concluding part..
