My prayer is that, the same Spirit who inspired the words in the Scriptures of Truth, may also inspire them in the hearts of my readers and may cause each to say (with David), “I rejoice in Thy words as one that findeth great spoils” (Ps. cxix. 162): and to exclaim (with Jeremiah), “Thy words were found and I did eat them, and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart” (Jer. xv. 16.)

Part I-C: The One Great Requirement Of The Word: "Rightly Dividing" It

E. W. Bullinger — Fri, 04 Feb 2005 06:00:00 +0000

The one great requirement of the Word is grounded on the fact that it is “the Word of truth.” And this fact is so stated as to imply that, unless the Word is thus rightly divided we shall not get “truth”; and that we shall get its truth only in proportion to the measure in which we divide it rightly.

The Requirement is thus stated in 2 Tim. ii. 15: “Give diligence to present thyself approved to God, a workman having no cause to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Part I-B: The One Great Subject Of The Word

i. Christ In The Word As A Whole.

The one great subject which runs through the whole Word of God is Christ: the promised seed of the woman in Gen. iii. 15.

This verse marks the depth of the ruin into which man had descended in the Fall; and it becomes the foundation of the rest of the Bible.

Part I-A: The One Great Object Of The Word

E. W. Bullinger — Fri, 04 Feb 2005 06:00:00 +0000

The first great and essential principle which must be ever present with us, when we study the Word of God, as a whole, is not to treat it as something which we have to interpret, but as being that which God has given in order to interpret Himself and His will to us.

i. This applies to Christ; as the Living Word.

When we speak of the “Word” we can never separate the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; and the written word, the Scriptures of Truth.

Part II: The Words

Preliminary Remarks

Having considered the study of the WORD as a whole, we now come to the study of the WORDS of which it is made up.

The Lord Jesus said, not only, “I have given them Thy WORD” (John xvii. 14); but, “I have given unto them the WORDS which Thou gavest me” (v. 8).

Preface: How to Enjoy Your Bible

London, September, 1907

It will add greatly to the interest of this work if I briefly describe the circumstances to which, under God, it owes its origin. Nothing will so clearly show its aim and object, or so well explain its one great design as embodied in its title: How to Enjoy the Bible.

In the autumn of 1905 I found myself in one of the most important of the European Capitals.
