In the Bible we find God's testimony about himself, His self-revelation to us, His laws and commands about the way life should work. In Psalm 19 this is described as:
- perfect - complete, providing everything that we need, no fault in it, no deficiency
- sure - not uncertain
- right - not only the opposite of wrong, but the correct way, the correct path
- pure - no bias, no blemish
- clean - clear, can be understood
- true - not a guess at truth like the world offers
do we believe all this. Are we convinced that the bible is perfect?
The effects of god's word on us are:
- it revives the soul - resurrects a dead soul set on destruction!
- makes wise the simple - shows us how life works
- rejoices the heart - gives us joy (in the gospel) despite our circumstances
- enlightens the eyes - letting us see things as they really are
- warns - shows us our sin
that is why it is better than the best thing you can imagine
