Apparently, this message about the Bible (author unknown) was found posted in a shop window in Winchester, England:
THE HOLY BIBLE
"The Bible reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are unchangeable.
Read it to be wise, believe it to be saved, and practise it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the travellers' map, the pilgrims' staff, the pilots' compass, the soldiers' sword, and the Christians' charter. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is it's grand subject, our good it's design, and the glory of God it's end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of plenty.
It is given you in life, will be opened in the judgement, and will be remembered forever. It imputes the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labour, and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents."
Note : The Holy Bible is one of the world's top ten best seller year after year and holds the record as the most widely read book in the world.
