Those who would get true learning, must get it out of the Scriptures.
The Holy Scriptures must not lie by us neglected, seldom, or never looked into.
The Bible is a sure guide to eternal life. The prophets and apostles did not speak from themselves, but delivered what they received of God.
The Bible is profitable for all purposes of the Christian life.
It is of use to all, for all need to be taught, corrected, and reproved. There is something in the Scriptures suitable for every case.
Wouldn't it be amazing if all the children of God were to love our Bibles more, and keep closer to them?
All would at last gain the happiness that is promised within and by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the main subject of the New Testament and prophesied about in the Old Testament.
We can best oppose error by promoting a solid knowledge of the word of truth; and the greatest kindness we can do to children, is to make them early to know the Bible.
