The Reason For Everything.

Today, my reading finished with the last verse from John chapter 20 (verse 31)

"But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

As I see it, we have here the reason for God choosing to have His Word recorded in written form....

...so that all may have the opportunity to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

As a consequence of that belief, we will have life - described elsewhere as "life to the full" or "life, full and running over" or "abundant life"

This puts us all on equal footing when we come eyeball to eyeball with God - we have the objective word of God.

Two things are necessary: people need to be able to read, and secondly, people need to have the Scriptures in their own language.

Praise God, there are mission groups out there doing both of those things.

Have a great day,


Peter Clark.
