GOD’S WORD – THE BIBLE (11)
I conclude this very simple series of blogs on God’s Word – The Bible we conclude with The Word of God is like a STAR, that always guides the Believer to the Lord Jesus Christ, just like the star led the Wise men from the East to the manger in Bethlehem. We read in 2 Peter 1:19 AMP.N.T. And we have the prophetic word [made] firmer still.
