Things like “The Ten Commandments” from the Old Testament; “The Beatitudes”; from the New Testament; The Bible is just full of Treasures that we can apply to our lives to assist us in living the way God intended us to live, right from the very beginning.

 

Ever stop to think of how the Bible was put together? The Bible has 66 Books; 39 in the Old Testament; and 27 in the New Testament. It was written by 40 different writers, over a span of 1400 years, and yet nowhere does it contradict itself. Bet you asking; “How Come”; Well, I can shed some light on that for you. The inspiration that was give to all the writers, came from the Holy Spirit…Look at what the Scripture states…

2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

 

Here is the King James Translation…

2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

The whole point of today’s blog is to say this…The Bible is chock full of Heavenly Treasures; BUT; it all boils down to what Jesus says is the “Two Greatest Commandments”

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

 

If we all did as the Scriptures state; Then we can only imagine how we would treat each other and how wonderful this world would be.

 

Blessings; Have a great weekend:
