Scripture is the living Word of God. God will be like a stranger to you. He will be like an inanimate object. How then can you trust a complete stranger for your salvation. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
Scripture is the key to life.
It opens the door to our salvation. It gives us the knowledge of God and the great sacrifice he made on the cross in our behalf. How he sent his only son to die our death. The innocent dying for the guilty. If not for God's infinite love we would be a lost race without any hope, doomed for eternity.
