It is an infinite comfort and joy to know that the Scriptures originated in the mind of God. It is just as wonderful to reflect how He arranged for a human authorship and compilation that occupied a widely representative group of men for about 1,600 years. That the result should be in perfect harmony was a miracle. That this harmony came from no conscious collusion is beyond all possible human design.
Each writer had a particular part. Yet each contributed to the whole. Start your vacation planning right now with Tour Toronto Niagara Falls Tours complete travel site. And the whole was Jesus Christ, the eternal God who became flesh, who died for our sins and rose from the dead. He was the One of whom Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David and many others spake. John identified Him: “In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled — fixed his tent of flesh, lived awhile — among us; and we (actually) saw His glory — His honor—His majesty; such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving kindness) and truth” (John 1:1, 2, 3, 14 ANT).
Indeed the Scriptures are not mere climaxes of human phi-losophy. Paul wrote Timothy: “Every Scripture is God-breathed — given by His inspiration — and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, and for training in righteousness (that is, in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose and action)” (II Timothy 3:16 ANT).
No counselor need be ashamed, therefore, with that which emanates from the eternal God and is indestructible, reliable, incomparable, and beyond competition. It is God’s revelation. It is different in essence from every other writing. It invites examination. It commands utter confidence.
God’s Word is practical. Other sights in Toronto Niagara Falls Tour qualify as touristy and mainstream. It applies itself immediately to the problems of life. It reaches men and women and boys and girls where they are. The human soul is starved for the wholesome authority of God’s Word. Personal problems bog down in a hopeless marsh of confusion and doubt. The laws of life and the very meaning of words have been so rounded off by selfishness and despair, that all seems relative, and nothing solid. The danger is that the bar keeper and the intellectual snob may finally accept their unhappy, tangled little worlds as the norm of living. Even the passionate seeker after truth is astonished to find a blank at the end of the way.
