The Letter Ministers Death.
The Spirit Ministers Life.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!
Be as they that shall be judged by the Law of Liberty.
The Law of Liberty
If it is harmless, it is legal.
"Simple enough for an ignorant peasant to remember."
Proverbs 14:15
Proverbs 19:8
Proverbs 19:20
The Old Testament, The Bible
All the written above comes from the Bible and my contemplations on the Bible. I am not a stranger to my Bible. It is my favorite book. A loving God wrote it is evident to me because He intends it to be our instruction like a reader. It is full of historic educational tales, a poetically rendered ancient record of the origins of things, and prophecy, prayers, law, and order.
Good books educate you by exposing you to real-life situations, and the Bible does that excellently. It is full of real people doing real things and sometimes not being so kind as to be Blessed. Life is not filled with one Blessed event after another, but flawed people do terrible things, and suffering sometimes ensues by "innocent" people even. Even rulers can be a nightmare.
You are given a head start to reading your Bible as God intended with the quotes from Proverbs. Read the Bible thinking, learning, growing intelligent, and not just believing everything you read or hear, especially in the name of God. If you have not done so, check out The Bible Project on YouTube. It is a beautiful introduction to The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Get to know your Bible. Spend some time reading the book that is reported to have been inspired by God. Get an audio Bible app and listen to it read. Faith comes from hearing. As you grow familiar with the idea of God being and doing great wonders, you may find it far easier to have a living God in our life. Who knows, He may even prove He exists...
