Bible verses clearly communicate the message of God throughout the Bible. While liberal scholars and New Age proponents increasingly dispute the literal meaning of the Bible (and even God's existence), the verses of the Bible are clear and concise expressions of God's enduring truth. A powerful example of this type of verse is the way to salvation through John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Another solid truth is the importance of persevering as expressed in James 1:12: "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." A final declaration of the power of scripture is found at Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Bible verses challenge people to make the right choices and think about their actions. Bible verses are God's gift of communication for His people to understand and follow. Bible verses inspire us, comfort us, and convict us. Bible verses reveal God's love and bring everlasting hope.
