The Bible, its value, and for whom it is intended are topics, today. No BATTLE AXE appears. The “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “Sarah” (Level 1 with 75 points, a member since September 7, 2014) posted the following:
What is the Bible? Should the Bible be read? Why? Why not? What is Bible doctrine? How could the Bible affect someone's life?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1: 4-8, KJV)

“Sarah”, here are a few points to consider from a Christian believer:
(1.) The holy writings have been imparted from GOD as a record of divine appearances and utterances to chosen ones among mankind that permit their service as leaders, patriarchs, priests and prophets as well as sons and daughters to divinity. This allows us to say, the Bible is an inheritance only to those in covenant and intimate relationships with GOD.
(2.) The Bible is a divine tool to clarify and establish value for things appearing in accordance with the active presence of divinity among created beings and living creatures. Saying this another way: The Bible provides sacred knowledge that explains aspects of the divine revelation whereby GOD is made known to the living. Included are such material as counsel (we say, advice, guidance, wisdom), covenants, divine law, eternal purpose, expressions of godly love, family records, historical facts from multiple nations, sacred events (we say, miracles), and judgments against sin.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (3.) Those not chosen can not receive the Bible in the same way as those who are. Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, the law giver, and all Creation that relies upon sacred law for genuine order. Those called to serve GOD in maintaining Creation are endowed with the imparted Spirit from GOD. To live lives where we continually minister to others does not require that we be in charge of a big church, that we have big ambitions and big dreams, or that we have big money and financial resources. Personal ministry as Christian believers requires that we have a right spirit and a big heart as well as willingness to endure, grow, and persevere. Through the imparted Spirit believers receive, and are able to display inseparable aspects of divinity such as faith, forgiveness, holiness, longsuffering, love, respect, righteousness, and truth.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
