Bible Marking--Borrowing and Lending Bibles--Necessity of Marking--Advantages--How to Mark and What to Mark--Taking Notes--"Four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise"--"Every eye shall see Him"--Additional Examples--Suggestions.
DON'T be afraid to borrow and lend Bibles. Some time ago a man wanted to take my Bible home to get a few things out of it, and when it came back I found this noted in it:
Justification, a change of state, a new standing before God.
Repentance, a change of mind, a new mind about God.
Regeneration, a change of nature, a new heart from God.
Conversion, a change of life, a new life for God.
Adoption, a change of family, new relationship towards God.
Sanctification, a change of service, separation unto God.
Glorification, a new state, a new condition with God.
In the same hand-writing I found these lines:
_Jesus only;_ the light of heaven is the face of Jesus.
The joy of heaven is the presence of Jesus.
The melody of heaven is the name of Jesus.
The theme of heaven is the work of Jesus.
The employment of heaven is the service of Jesus.
The fulness of heaven is Jesus himself.
The duration of heaven is the eternity of Jesus.
