The Bible. Its the book youre holding in your hands.

Christians see this book as unique, the Book, because it is the only book in the world that truly presents Gods heavenly message to mankind. Thus we appropriately call it the Holy Bible or Holy Scripture or Gods Word. Think of it. God the Creator has provided a written communication to His creation telling us about Himself and His desires for all of us. Yes, God desires something for us. He desires good for us, ultimately to restore us to the natural perfection humanity possessed at the moment He created the first man and woman.

That event was a miracle more profound than the conception and birth of a human being. For while we see the newborn as precious and pure, the original state of mankind was one wherein a man and a woman intimately conversed with God and He with them in an exchange not only of words but also of heart and spirit. So the Bible aims at the restoration of that relationship between God and people, showing how that restoration is accomplished and what that restoration means for us who live today. A fascinating scripture passage is . For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. In Jesus of Nazareth, who delivered the Sermon on the Mount, who healed the blind, who miraculously fed five thousand men (besides women and children!), and who walked the streets of a hostile Jerusalem, God dwelt fully.

Our privilege is to live the pattern of Jesuss life, do what He did, live as He taught, to follow in His steps. The first place to start realizing this great privilege is the Bible, where we get the record of Gods work, and His message that restores us to the completeness referred to in the Colossians passage above. So we read the Bible. We gather the information about Gods work of making us complete in Him. But we have to take the next step. We have to respond to the message, act on it.

We have to apply it personally. To that end, the approach of the Apply the Word Study Bible is to do four things. First, it provides a reliable Bible text. The text of this Bible, the New King James Version, is a trustworthy translation of the Scriptures backed by more than four hundred years of integrity. You can be sure youre getting the truth of Gods message, the right information, the real story. Second, by means of an extensive set of notes and articles, the Scriptures are explained against the setting of their biblical background and in the context of the whole of the Bible.
