                                SUBJECT: The Bible – The Word of God Lesson 1   Part 1 Smith Wigglesworth said: “Never say this book contains the Word of God, but say;  - - -        - - -  “THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD.” The Bible is God's written expression of His will to man. When we consider that it is God speaking to man, it should never be considered as just instruction in a general sense, but God's instruction to me as a person . In other words, each of us should read the Bible with the thought in mind that; “ God is speaking to me. ” James 1:21-22 declares; Receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.

  Jesus is the Lamb of God God lives in eternity, so with God there is no "time" as we know it. Time on earth began when God created the earth with the Sun for the Day and the Moon for the night. But God lives outside of “time” as we know it. The Bible says in   2 Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” From the moment Adam and Eve sinned, God was not in a hurry to put His plan of redemption in place. There was much to do first. God slew an innocent lamb to clothe Adam and Eve and He promised that one day, He would   send a mighty Deliverer and Redeemer.   (Genesis. 3:15). Many of the things God caused to happen as recorded in the Bible, were for examples and pictures of a Savior who would become the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world.
