I’m a Biblicist, someone who believes the Bible is true and inerrant from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. It is not only a book of history, wisdom, life, happiness and sorrow; it is God’s written letter of love to the sons and daughters of His original creations, Adam and Eve.
The anti-Christs throughout the ages have come against God’s word, throwing every new idea, plot and plan into the fray, thinking that if enough people were deceived, the book would fade away. It never has succeeded, and it never will.
The bible prophesied the Messiah throughout the Old Testament. Jesus told the Pharisees that very same thing. They couldn’t see; their eyes were blinded to the Son of God standing before them. The same as those whose eyes are blinded to God’s promises available to them today.
In America, family Bibles collect dust, or are nonexistent today. In Africa, people dance with joy and praise God when the Book is given to them. They are hungry for God’s word; many in America are trying to shut it up. How we have changed in a few short years, when we were founded upon God’s laws.
John R. W. Stott once said “A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.” If we proclaim to be Christian, this should be true of ourselves.
Hell and its minions will continue to come against the Word of God and will increase in ferocity as the return of Jesus draws nearer. But be fearless, for the battle is already won. Christ has paid the price for our sins; the attacks are just the thrashings of a defeated foe. 1 John 2:22 tells us “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
