“For I am the LORD, I do not change.” Malachi 3:6a
The motives of the unchanging Creator, Giver of life, and Redeemer are revealed in His word. It is impossible to overstate the value of the devoted study of Yahweh’s textbook for mankind. The basis for all reality is discovered in the mind of God for all those who are willing to look. What an incalculable privilege it is to peer into the mind of Infinite Love.
In its power to educate, there is no equal to the Bible. Its study brings strength to the human mind and discernment as to the motives of God. Human thinking that has been lowered and polluted according to the workings of Satan is lifted heavenward.
The precepts of Yahweh are laid out in their purity for us to comprehend. Nothing compares in power to ennoble the character and refine the affections of fallen man. Yahweh also provides the painful lessons that accompany abandonment of His precepts. It is His intention that His beloved people would exercise a willingness to learn from their mistakes, recorded that others may also examine the history and be forewarned.
The aspects of prophecy contained in this word are proof that the plan for redeeming souls remains firmly in place. On the day that He was resurrected, Jesus opened the eyes of His followers by pointing out prophecies about Himself. And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke 24:27).
Every one of us is invited to the study of His word. The knowledge of the principles contained therein is essential preparation for every soul who desires to exit the mire of this tainted earth and accept the calling of Jesus: the call to gain citizenship in heaven while inviting others to do the same.
No other source the world over can claim precepts so pure, lessons so instructive, or promises so fantastic as the word of the Life Giver who desires that we live forever with Him. A knowledge of His motives, so impugned by Satan, brings with it the light of hope for a glorious future.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death into life.” John 5:24
