There’re those who even though revere the Bible, merely think of it as a magnum opus. By this, they mean that the Bible is a great work or masterpiece, as it were, one of the most significant or renowned piece of work in any field, often used to describe a literary, artistic, or musical work of exceptional quality or significance.
But all such nice descriptions still fall short of what the Bible is and represents. First, the Bible is Spirit inspired; “Every scripture is God-breathed ( given by His inspiration)…“ (2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMPC). Thus, the Bible is a revelation; a compilation of the out-breathings of God; It’s God’s revelation given in words.
When we read the Bible from the Old Testament into the New Testament, we’re reading God’s message, or what God said-His testimony. Of course, the Bible also contains what others said, such as angels, humans, demons and even satan. Even what an animals (a donkey)said is recorded for us in Numbers 22:28-30. But still, the Bible is God’s that they all said what they said.
Therefore, much more than magnum opus, the Bible is God’s document of truth, and it’s trustworthy and dependable. Let your faith in it be unshakable.
Prayer
