Someone once asked me what role the Bible ought to play in our lives. I got to thinking of how life is like a road trip ? with heaven as the destination. The Bible contains the signs that point us in the way we should go, and all we need to do is follow them.
As we travel on our journey, we will come across plenty of other signs besides God’s signs. Some are helpful and some are distracting. It’s okay to read the other signs as we travel along, but if we follow them and neglect God’s signs, we’ll get lost.
The Bible is God’s gift to us to show us the way to eternal life. It includes all the signs we need to get us where he wants us to go. When we faithfully follow the signs God reveals to us in the Bible, we can be confident that we’ll arrive at the right destination.
