圣经---上帝神圣之书！

一位不知名的作者如此说，

这本书是：上帝的心意，世人的状态，救赎的道路，罪人的厄运，和信徒的幸福。

它的教义是神圣的，它的教训是严谨的，它的历史是真实的，它的定规是不变的。

阅读它使你睿智，相信它使你安全，实践它使你圣洁。

它饱含光明给你指引，充足饮食给你滋养，满有安慰使你欢唱。

它是旅行者的地图，朝圣者的拐杖，水手的罗盘，勇士的宝剑，基督徒的宪章。

在这里---乐园得以恢复，天堂荣耀呈现，地狱之门狰狞可见。

基督是其恢宏的主题，世人的益处是它的设计，上帝的荣耀是最后的归依。

它应当---充满你的记忆，统领你的心思，引导你的脚步。

你当仔细地咀嚼，经常地阅读，并以祷告之心反复默想。

它在你人生中赐予，审判时打开，永恒中记忆。

它要求你担承最高的责任：因为它将对辛勤钻研者予以赏赐，但轻视其神圣内容者必被定罪！

它是一个富饶的矿井，荣耀的乐园，愉快的流泉。

遵循它指引的道路，必将你引向各各他山顶，空的坟墓，和在基督耶稣里复活的生命。

的确，那荣耀的光辉，将持续在永恒中闪烁！

The Bible - God's Holy Book

An unknown writer said,

This Book is the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.

Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding; its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be holy.

It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s charter.

Here paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.

Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end.

It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully.

It is given to you in life, will be opened in judgment and will be remembered forever.

It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor and will condemn all

who trifle with its sacred contents.

It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

Follow its precepts and it will lead you to Calvary, to the empty tomb, to a resurrected life in Christ.

Yes, to glory itself, for eternity.
