Biblical truth: Our spiritual software

Computer software is the set of instructions and information that controls the computer’s systems. The Bible provides the set of instructions, or spiritual software, that enables people to know God and understand how to live a God-controlled life. Abraham Lincoln, speaking about the Bible, said, “But for this book we could not know right from wrong.” St. Augustine described God’s word as “letters from home.” God has always provided a way for his people to know him and his perfect will for their lives. But the Bible was not given simply to supply information. The Bible has the power to transform the lives of those who honor and obey God’s word as truth and therefore receive his blessings.

Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible. The Psalm celebrates God’s word as his holy revelation to mankind.
