“Cover to Cover - Light Shining in Darkness”

John 1:1-5,14-18

Sermon Notes 12/24/2023

The Bible is one of God’s greatest gifts. 

The Bible is one collection, two testaments, 66 books written down, put together and preserved so that you might know God and His saving power in Jesus Christ. (A Visual Theology Guide To The Bible - Tim Challies & Josh Byers - pg. 24)

God’s Word is one of God’s greatest gifts because it is… 

Sufficient - it includes everything needed for salvation, faith and obedience.

Clear - it is understandable to all who read it with dependence on God and submission to God’s will.

Authoritative - the Bible is God’s Word with God’s Authority.

Necessary - the Bible is necessary for salvation and spiritual life. 

This Christmas scan your heart and ask yourself, “Do I truly believe the Bible is one of God’s greatest gifts to me?”

Satan is a master at Stealing, Confusing, Agitating and Neutralizing the greatness of God’s gifts to us.

Turn to Jesus today, receive His free gift of salvation and ask Him to help you open the gift of God’s Word and discover the light of Jesus Christ shining from cover to cover.

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
