The first thing each and every Christian must fully realize is that the Holy Bible is truly the inspired and infallible Word of God.
   There are many liberal Christians who are starting to question the validity and authenticity of the Bible. I will not use this article to debate the origins of the Bible, all of the authors who wrote the books, and how the different translations came into being. There are plenty of good books at your local Christian bookstore that deal with this topic very extensively.
   After studying the Bible in its complete entirety - there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that all of the Bible is God-breathed - and that all of it has come directly to us from God the Father through the Holy Spirit. For those of you who believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible and that all of it has truly come from God the Father, I will use this article to give you some extremely powerful verses from Scripture to show you that not only did all of the Bible come from God the Father through the Holy Spirit to all of the authors who wrote all 66 books of the Bible - but I will also give you some powerful verses from the Bible showing you how powerful the actual words of the Bible really are, and how they can dramatically help to change and transform you into the kind of person that God really wants you to become in Him.
   The actual words of the Bible are anointed by the Holy Spirit Himself - and they have the full ability to completely change and transform you if you are willing to work with the truths given to you by the actual words. Jesus says in the Bible that you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. However you first have to know what the truth is before the truth can start to work to set you free. This is why Kind David said we must meditate on the words of the Bible - so we can find out what their true meaning is and how these truths can apply to our daily lives. Meditating on the Bible means to think about, to chew on, to try and figure out what the meaning of the words and the different passages of the Bible are all about. Though the Book is long, God has made it as simple and easy as He possibly could. Think about this. There is only one Bible. In one Book, God has given us everything we need to know about Himself, His Son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the basics of our salvation through the death of His Son, how He wants us to live this life, the things He wants us doing and the things that He does not want us doing.
   In this one Book are all the ways and commandments of our Lord, and all the information we are ever going to need on what is awaiting all of us on the other side when we die and cross over - heaven for the saved and hell for the unsaved. I believe the number one reason God created the human race was for intimate fellowship. Even to the amazement of the angels in heaven, God seems to have some type of special longing and love for us humans. The fact that God would send His one and only Son down to our earth in the flesh to go through the worst form of physical death at the time He came, all just to bring us back to Himself, really does show us how much God really does love all of us. The Bible tells us that the love that God has for all of us is like a "consuming fire." These two words are showing us a love that is of maximum intensity. With this kind of intense love for us, I believe that God is trying to tell us one main thing - and that one main thing is that He is looking to enter into a one-on-one personal love relationship with each one of us. Think about this - that the one and only all-powerful God of the entire universe is looking to make a direct personal connection with you on an individual and unique basis. If you really step back and look at the big picture and all the things that we see in this life - what is the one thing that most of us long for in this life? What is the one thing that will make you cry when you see this portrayed on the movie screens? It is the longing for a true soul mate. It is the longing for a pure, true and unconditional love from a person of the opposite sex. There is nothing that can satisfy the deeper longings of your soul the way that true love can. However, there is just one small catch with this scenario. Even though some of us may have found their true soul mates in this life, there is one more small thing that has not been met. No matter how perfect you think your mate may be, bottom line - your mate is still not perfect since the Bible tells us that all men and all women have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of our God. What this means is that no matter how good of a love relationship you may be in with your mate, that person is still not capable of giving you perfect love because that person is not perfect in his or her very nature. Thus every single one of us still has that little hole in our soul that just can't seem to be filled with anything else in our lives. No matter how much money we have, no matter how many material possessions we have, no matter how many loving children we have - there is still something missing and none of these things can completely fill that little hole that is in all of our souls. God has purposely left a vacuum, a hole and a void in each one of our souls when He created us. And the only thing that can fill this hole and void is God the Father Himself, His Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. There is absolutely nothing else on this earth that can fill that void. People are literally chase the wind trying to find anything and everything to fill that void - and no matter how many lovers they have, no matter how many marriages they enter into, no matter how many toys they buy with the money they have - nothing they chase after in this life will fill that hole in their souls.
    The only thing that will fill that void and hole in your soul is finding and then entering into a personal love relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. There is nothing else that will fill that void! Since God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are perfect in Their actual natures and have no dark side to Their personalities, then They, and only They, are the only Ones who are capable of giving you a perfect, pure and unconditional love that no one else can give you on this earth. This is why the Bible tells us that we will find a peace that will pass all human understanding once we have accepted Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior and have become truly born again. That peace we will find is the result of finding the one true Person who can fill that empty void that is in each and everyone of us - and that one Person is God Almighty Himself. However, once you have found God through accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, there is now something you must do. You must now grow in the knowledge of God and grow in the personal relationship that He wants to establish with you. And how do you start growing in the personal relationship He wants to establish with you and grow in the knowledge that He wants you to have about Him? By diving head first into the Bible! When two lovers first meet and fall in love with one another, the first thing they naturally and instinctively want to do is to learn as much as they can about one another. How can you truly fall in love with another person unless you first seek to know everything you can about your lover, his or her past, where they have been, what they have been through, who are all of their friends and family, etc. Once you really fall into true love with someone, you will have a hunger to find out as much as you can about them and their past. It's the exact same way in our relationship with God. God obviously knows everything about each one of us, but we do not know everything about Him, His Son or His Spirit. So the only possible way that we can learn all about God is to read and study from the Bible since the Bible is the only Book that we have down here on this earth that will give us detailed information as to who the Three of Them really are. If a true born again, Spirit-filled Christian is really in love with God and really wants to deepen the personal relationship that they have now established with God - then the first thing that person will really want to do is to get into the Bible so that they can find out everything they possibly can about this awesome God of ours. The more knowledge you gain about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit from studying the Bible - the stronger and deeper your personal relationship will become with the Three of Them. As you will see in the Scripture verses listed below, there are several other incredible things that will start to occur in your life if you really seek to study the Bible with the intentions on wanting to learn more about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in order to deepen the personal relationship that you have now established with the Three of Them.
