The Bible: Our Treasure Map

The Bible is our treasure map that leads us to Salvation.  It is not, in and of itself, Salvation, but it points the way to Jesus Christ, who is our only Salvation.

As Jesus , they thought they had inherent salvation because they had the Scriptures, but they were ignoring the fact that the Bible was pointing them to Jesus.

John 5:39 (New King James Version)

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

 

  1. The Bible is the guide that points us to Jesus, which whom we obtain a personal relationship.
     
  2. Through faith, we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
     
  3. Through daily prayer and Bible study, our relationship with Jesus grows.
     
  4. that , which God shows us as we study.
     
  5. We exercise and strengthen our faith as we accept these promises and lean on God to sustain us.
     
  6. The cycle of 3,4,5 continues...
     

The treasure map is not the end goal -- it points us to the actual end goal, which is a saving relationship with Jesus.
