GOD's HOLY WORD - The B I B L E

The Scriptures are sufficient
(Thomas Brooks, "A Word in Season to Suffering Saints")

"All Scripture is God-breathed and
is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness--
so that the man of God may be thoroughly
equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Scriptures are sufficient . . .
to inform the ignorant,
to confute the erroneous,
to reform the wicked, and
to guide and direct,
support and comfort--
the godly.

Here a lamb may wade--
and here an elephant may swim!

Here is milk for babes--
and meat for strong men!

Here is . . .
comfort for the afflicted, and
support for the tempted, and
ease for the troubled, and
light for the clouded, and
enlargement for the straitened, etc.

Oh,
how full of light,
how full of life,
how full of love,
how full of sweetness,
how full of goodness,
how full of righteousness,
how full of holiness, etc.,
is every chapter, and every verse
in every chapter, yes, and every
line in every verse!

No human writings
are comparable to Scripture:
1. for antiquity;
2. for rarity;
3. for variety;
4. for brevity;
5. for plainness;
6. for harmony;
7. for verity.
All which should greatly
encourage Christians,
to a serious perusal of them.

"Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long!"
Psalm 119:97
