The Bible is like a lamp that God has given to the human beings. In the book of Psalms, chapter 119, verse 105 (Psalms 119:105) king David wrote:
Between the moral and religion confusion that exist in this world, God has left this lamp to light our way through the path that will take us to eternal life. We congratulate you for reading these words, you have taken the first steps on a path that very few begin, the study of the word of God. The majority of the people prefer to follow the easy path, a life of superficialities, distractions, the ignorance of what the Bible says, and to live ones life according to what wethink is right, instead of choosing to know God and understand the purpose of life in this world, to follow the instructions of the Creator by reading and studying His word. The gospel of Mathew, chapter 7, verses 13 and 14 (Mathew 7:13-14) tells us about the invitation that Jesus Christ makes to us: "You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it". You are choosing to study the word of God that lead us to eternal life!
