What we believe about the Bible is fundamental and foundational to Christian faith, the Church and for our faith
journey.

What do we mean when we say we believe in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God? 
The word ‘inspired’ means that we believe it came from God.
II Tim 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” 
Inspiration or inspired Word of od is fundamental to everything we believe about the Bible.
The writers of Scripture put their words on paper, God controlled them and the Holy Spirit monitored the whole
process.

What was ultimately written was exactly what God wanted it to be written.
When they wrote the words of Scripture using their own personalities, their own styles, and their own situations God was controlling the entire process. What they produced was the very Word of God.
Inspiration applies to the words of Scripture but not to the writers of Scripture. 
Everything that Bible speaks is the truth because it came from God and God breathed.
The Bible is word of God whether we believe it or not.
The Bible is the word of God whether we believe it or not.
The Bible is the word of God whether we obey it or not.
The Bible we read is the Word of God; it transforms lives; it gives anchor to the life in our chaotic waters of
this world.

As we all know that B I B L E stands for Basic InstructionsBefore Leaving Earth.
As Dr. Billy Graham says, " Cover to cover Bible is the WORD of God"
So Bible is the Word of God not words of God.
May the Lord Jesus creat a desire in your heart to read His Scripture Holy Bible to enter into a wonderful, dynamic and deeper relationship with Him.

Did we ever think for a minute that we live in the light of the eternity?
The believer in the Lord Jesus, I mean those who accepted Lord Jesus as their Savior,spend the rest of the life in the light of eternity.
What do I mean by that?
Eternity will be in our hearts, in our minds, in our souls and in our every breath.
Then you may ask what eternity is.
Eternity is nothing but living with the Risen Lord Jesus forever and ever.
As we live on this earth, we are subjected to the worldly demands, temptations, and pleasures.
But as believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, the hope eternity fills every facet of our life.
Apostle Peter in his letters asks us a pertinent question.
“What kind of people ought you to be?”
2nd Peter 3:11-14 we see three basic steps to live in the light of eternity.
We have to live with absolute dedication.
Apostle Peter says, “You ought to live holy and godly live”.
Simply to understand that we have to live a separated life
Then he says we have to live with expectancy of the Lord’s return.
In other words, looking forward to His coming back
He continues to say that we have to with diligence.
“Make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and peace with HIM”.
The most important aspect of Peter’s message is this that we have to have peace with God.
Did we ever think about this?
Peace with God!!!!!!
We always pray for God’s peace in our lives but how can we have peace with God.
Peace with God is the KEY to live in the light of the eternity.
 If we could make every effort to live a life that pleases the Lord Jesus, we begin to experience peace with God every moment of our life.
We never know when our time comes to go home with Lord Jesus.
But,if we begin to experience peace with God 24/7, we are ready for eternity.
Just remember, we, as believers in the Lord Jesus, always live in the light of eternity.
