Ken’s Articles on the Christian Faith
God’s revelation Part 3
The twentieth century saw some of our greatest discoveries in science, and vast changes in the ways and customs of society.
Indeed many things which pleased and satisfied our forefathers have been laid aside long ago as obsolete, useless, old-fashioned. But the Bible lives on!
In this present age it remains meaningful, powerful, inspiring – not only to our culture but to every other culture on earth.
First, how could this happen? God explains. He has put on record his promise – “the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1.25.
Second, God even lets wicked men help prove the Bible is indestructible. In past centuries they burnt it, in modern times literary critics ridiculed it, and now atheistic regimes ban it.
Yet it survives, more robust than ever – a graphic demonstration that God’s purposes cannot be thwarted.
Third, the Bible lives on for the purpose of blessing us. Psalm 19.7-11 says –
“The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous . . . and in
keeping them there is great reward.”

Let the Bible delight you – it’s user friendly.
