Don’t you want to have complete happiness? I’m sure you do as much as I do. If you do, get the manual of life, the Bible. Read it and follow all the instructions from God’s own perspective without adding nor deleting a single thought that it says (Rev. 22:18-29). As our Eternal Father, it’s His perfect will for us to be completely happy (Matthew 16:24).
When you are hired by a big company, before you start working you receive the employer’s operating manual. There’s no way you can alter what is written in it to suit what you want. The manual has guidelines about your work compensation and benefits. Your salary will take care of your food, your clothing, your rent or monthly amortization for your shelter or car. You will have fringe benefits for your health, vacation, insurance, bonuses, retirement and etc. If your finite employer can do this for you, how much more if God is your Employer who promised us in His written Word that if we first do His kingdom work and live His righteousness then all and not some will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33).
No one can presume that he or she already know what’s in the Bible, without reading it. The Prophet Isaiah wrote, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
When I was at Macy’s, after paying for my purchase, I asked the cashier if she already accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Though she answered me politely with a smile, she told me of her religion instead when my question simply requires a “yes” or “no”. Can religion save us? The Bible states it clearly “Absolutely not!” So how can we be saved? The Bible will tell us how.
The biggest mistake with a lasting and horrible consequence that a person can make is to miss reading the Bible before leaving this planet earth. Why? The Bible has the answer to everything. Many people believe that the Bible is God’s Word yet they don’t give it much importance. The Prophet Hosea wrote, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge,” declares the Lord (Hosea 4:6a).
