A young Christian woman who loved her Bible, and knew it well, was employed as the maid in a family. A young man who used to visit there laughed at her because of what he called her "religion," for he was an infidel. He would mockingly ask for her Bible, saying he could open it anywhere and prove it was not true.
At first she indignantly refused to allow him to touch it; but one day, after his assurances that he would treat it very reverently, she handed the Book to him. He proposed to read aloud and refute the first verse that his eye lighted upon. He opened the sacred Word and read: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Psa. 14:11<<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 14:1).
Needless to say, he gave the Bible back to her without a word, and never mentioned the subject again.
"The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Heb. 4:1212For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
Jesus saith... "I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life: no man
cometh unto the Father,
but by Me.”
