When my Grandpa Chuck Smith died, I was searching all over for his handwriting to me. I finally found it in a Bible he gave me. It's so precious to me to find his heart written in a gift He gave me.
Plus, I love this saying so much. This saying was in my Grandma Kay's Adopted daddy's Bible, and I am passing it on to you.
"This book will keep you from sin, and sin will keep you from this book."
He would know. My grandma talks about a time when her parents slight straying from the Lord. It wasn't a huge detour, but just enough to understand, "sin will keep you from the Book": Bible.
God has given us the Bible as a written letter from His heart. I so wish to see His hand writing one day. Could you even imagine? For now, God has written them down in His Word and has written them in our hearts.
2 Corn 3:3
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
It's that wonderful.
Well, I pass down this saying to you all.
Remember
"This book will keep you from sin, and sin will keep you from this book."
Blessings.
