The Bible contains...

the mind of God.
the state of man.
the way of salvation.
the doom of sinners.
the happiness of believers.
light to direct you.
food to support you.
comfort to cheer you.

It is...

the traveler's map.
the pilgrim's staff.
the pilot's compass.
the soldier's sword.
the Christian's charter.
a mine of wealth.
a paradise of glory.
a river of pleasure.

You should...

read it to be wise.
believe it to be safe.
practice it to be holy.

It should...

fill the memory.
rule the heart.
guide the feet.
