Getting Familiar With Divine Treasure

How does one get to know the Bible? the same you get to know friends by spending real time with them so you become the real spiritual blend No matter the years you've lived you can't sit back being complacent for the scriptures will find you out leaving you down in the basement Like a herb when it's in full flavour God provides enlightenment of light making the clarity of scripture so real discipleship takes you in full flight When you become more familiar with holy writ, there's a new dimension for this divine word reveals a treasure to you far hidden never a mention But now God reveals in His word His purpose to push your sanctification gifting His treasure to you a sinner transforms you with real ramifications ("To get the full flavour of an herb, it must be pressed between the fingers, so it is the same with scriptures, the more familiar they become, the more they reveal their hidden treasures and yield their indescribable riches.") John Chrysostom (A.D. 347-407)

Well written and absolutely true. I recently bought a new Bible, The Apologetics Study Bible. It provides such depth to the scriptures, even the ones I've quoted since childhood. God bless you Gordon, and the gift He gave you and your consistent use of it. A brother in Christ, Bill

Thanks Bill, Glad you enjoyed this one and found it well written piece full of truth. Hope you're enjoying your new bible, I've got the MacArthur study bible and the esv study bible. Though I think I prefer the esv one, I got it at half price at the Keswick convention a few years ago. Your brother in Christ, Gordon
