A Little Book of Spiritual Treasure - Jack Ferguson
CHAPTER ONE: THE TREASURE OF THE BIBLE
The particular treasure highlighted in this opening chapter is that jewel of all literature - the Book that has changed and continues to change the lives of millions of people all over the world. It is the Bible, the living Word of the living God. It is not a book for the shelf, but for the heart. That is why the psalmist wrote, Thy Word have I laid up in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee
(Psalm 119:11). So we too can have it there as a real treasure.
History and prophecy are found in its pages as well as marvellous unfoldings of the mercy of God in His dealings with men and women down through the centuries. Tremendous human experiences with individuals are unfolded as bit by bit they discovered the love and the interest God had in them despite all their ups and downs.
One of the remarkable things about our Bible is simply this - although it was written by men of God from the ranks of prophets, priests, military leaders, kings, noblemen, herdsmen, tax gatherers, physicians, fishermen and intellectuals the entire Bible, nevertheless, was originally written under the direction of the Holy Spirit, as Paul confirms in 2 Timothy 3:16. By the Holy Spirit's power it has also been preserved through the centuries so that we have Bibles available to us today.
It is still the world's best seller. Of one thing also you can be assured: it is still in its first edition. God has never rewritten it. It is God's Last Word to the world on everything. The Old Testament contains God's histories and His messages through the prophets. But in the New Testament He has given us the life story and the direct teaching of His Son, followed by explanations of Christ's teaching by His apostles as given by the Holy Spirit. These are God's final words to the human family. By them men and women will be either saved or condemned.
Those who maintain that God has given subsequent revelations apart from the Bible will be judged by God in the day of judgement. For ourselves, let us go to the Scriptures daily for plain words to strengthen and to guide. After all, do we not owe everything to God for that Book? It gave us the new light and the new life when at conversion we trusted the Saviour. It then became like spiritual milk to us as God's newborn babes in Christ. Then as we grew stronger in the Lord's things we began to find solid food in the Word. Later still, in days of increased maturity, we became familiar with real delicacies as well.
We start off as young Christians by reading the choice stories of the life of the Lord Jesus in the Gospels, until gradually we find ourselves loving Him more and more in all
