The Most Influential Book

By Shane Williams

Most of us own a copy of the Bible. In fact, you probably have a few Bibles in different versions or translations. The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek with an occasional Aramaic statement. Yet, it is still the most influential book in history, according to a recent survey of United States citizens. The Bible is the overwhelming winner among influential books.

But how many of those who applaud the Bible’s influence ever read it for themselves? Do you? Do I? And if we do, do we read it regularly? Do we read a passage here and there, or do we follow some system that will make us familiar with the whole Bible? Do we have a strong desire to know the Word of God?

“The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” (Psalms 19:7-8).

No matter how influential one believes the Bible to be, it will have no impact on someone if they never study it. It’s like having a needed medicine in your medicine chest, but you never take it according to the doctor’s orders.

For those who do read the Bible on a regular basis, the main question is whether we believe and practice what we read? For God’s Word to impact our lives, we must put it into practice. After all, this book is infinitely more than a collection of human writings. It is God’s authoritative Word.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete; thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16,17).
