The Holy Bible is the key that unlocks the mysteries of man´s relationship with God. As Christians, we get written advise, healing, and comfort from God´s Word. We are also able to read the ancient records laid down since the beginnings of time and get a battle plan that enables us to fight against evil. There are so many people, who cannot break the yoke of sin that Satan has placed upon many of our fellow human beings. They are lost within their own destructive devices of greed, lust, wickedness, and mental confusion. It simply remains an unavailable option within their own will power to break open the scriptures of the Holy Bible and partake of the soul-enriching spiritual power that God gives to every living human being. So many are lost and will not seek His Spirit and His divine guidance. There are also some Christians who have lost their way and choose other means of binding up their emotional wounds, options that do not promote true healing. Other misinformed advisors, seemingly educated people, try and persuade some Christians that scientifically there is no real concrete value or evidence of benefit to reading the Bible, memorizing scripture, and praying to God with a broken and humble heart.

Sanctification and a spiritually guided life is not something that can be recorded by a mechanical or computerized device. Yet, it is encoded within the very soul of all those who choose to decide their own fate and walk into eternity with God at their side, guiding the footsteps of the faithful, lest there be any errors in judgment. Those who erroneously choose not to read the blueprint of salvation that God has given to man, through his son Jesus Christ, do grievously make a tremendous error for the fate of their own souls. The Holy Scriptures create an open doorway that the reader and follower can willingly walk through, giving up his sins of his own volition, to be cleansed, renewed, renovated, and have his soul restored then ushered into green pastures of spiritual contentment.

There is no other dynamic so forceful and powerful than to be blessed of God. So many sad poor souls cannot even open the Holy Scriptures, as they are bound by sin and prevented from receiving that divine gift of Providence. There are many Bibles that lie on a shelf and gather dust, until the book is thick with a coat of the dust of neglect. Distractions, temptations, and preoccupations are by design made to bind the hands of the souls that might otherwise wish one day for redemption, but they cannot even find the cover of such a rare, beautiful, and powerful spiritual enrichment machine, which God has given to us, that takes away the evil from the heart of mankind.

Mark 4:11 - 4:12

11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
