Psalm 40:7
7 Then said ['amar] I, Lo,
I come [bow']: in
the volume [magillah] of the
book [cepher] it is
written [kathab] of me, KJV-Interlinear
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the
scroll of the book it is written of me: ESV
This statement, is
that of Christ. Behold I have come. The content of the word of God has but one principle
subject, which is Jesus Christ.
And when He
entered into this world, that was the only time in all of human history, and in
fact in all of history, that this statement could have been made.
The rituals of the
Old Testament, were repeated day in and day out, for thousands of years.
And, not a single
one of those rituals, provided salvation, or the spiritual life, for anyone.
It is not the
rituals that save, nor the rituals that advance growth.
It is the
principle behind those rituals, which teaches salvation, and which teaches the
method and means of growth.
Jesus Christ is
the subject of the entire Bible. The principle subject is that of salvation,
and the need for salvation, and the person who provides salvation, namely Jesus
Christ.
Jesus Christ is
the content of the Bible. Therefore, learning the Bible, is learning Christ.
And when Bible doctrine becomes resident in your soul through that learning
process, then you are in fact bringing the principles of Christ into your soul,
namely Christ in you.
The subject of the
Bible is Jesus Christ.
There is no other
person, no other religion, no other philosophy, presented in the Bible.
The Bible is self-contained,
and is not a part of, or an introduction to, any other religious venue.
Study [by instruction],
to show thyself
approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be
ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
