GOT LIFE? GOT CHRIST?
Recently I googled “Bible Facts” and came up with all kinds of information on the Bible. Here’s just a sample:
The Bible can be read aloud in 70 hours. There are 8,674 different Hebrew words in the Bible, 5,624 different Greek words, and 12,143 different English words in the King James Version.
BIBLE STATISTICS:
Number of books in the Bible: 66; Chapters: 1,189; Verses: 31,101; Words: 783,137; Letters:3,566,480; Number of promises: 1,260; Commands: 6,468; Predictions: over 8,000; Fulfilled prophecy: 3,268 verses; Number of questions: 3,294; Longest name:Mahershalalhashbaz (Isa 8:1); Longest verse: Esther 8:9 (78 words); Shortest verse: John 11:35 (2 words); Middle books: Micah and Nahum; Middle verse: Psalm 118:8 “It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.”; Middle chapter: Psalm 117; Shortest chapter: Psalm 117; Longest book: Psalms (150 chapters); Shortest book: 3 John;Longest chapter: Psalm 119 (176 verses); Number of different authors: 40; Number of languages the Bible has been translated into: over 1,200; Now that’s a lot of facts and statistics – great for a game of Bible Trivia, but how would Jesus respond to all of this?

John 5:39-40 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life…
LISTEN TO SOME SAVING FACTS:
- An hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live!
- The Scriptures bear witness of Jesus! Moses wrote of the Christ!
- Life is not found in simply searching the Scriptures (or memorizing a lot of Bible trivia). Life is found in Jesus! Amen.
GOT LIFE? GOT CHRIST?
God is good all the time! Mr. Steve
