World's best Book
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of men, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. It's doctrine is holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and 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 pilgrims staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter.
Here Paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the ways of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the redemption of man its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, a river of pleasure.
It is given to you in life, will be open in the judgement, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibilites, will reward the greatest labor, and condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
