Manual
THE CHRISTIAN'S LIFE is a manual, revealing what a Christian talks and acts like (Matt. 5:16)...
It is a cookbook, showing the necessary ingredients which combine for a rich, full life (2 Pet. 1:5-11). It is a code book, the reading of which will safely point others to the place of God’s acceptance (1 Tim. 4:12; Rom. 12:1-2). It is a thriller in that it is bound by all the spiritual blessings that are to be had (Eph. 1:3). It is a medical book in that it reveals the evidences of the Great Physician ( Mark 2:17; Jer. 8:22). It is a suspense because the best is yet to be for the Christian as “it does not yet appear what we shall be…” ( 1 John 3:2). The Christian is read very carefully by “all men” (2 Cor. 3:2). As our lives are read, what notes do the readers place in the margin? If they were to label the book of our lives, what would they say? “Couldn’t put it down!” ( Titus 2:8)? “This book contains error” ( 1 John 4:6)? “Easy to follow” (1 Tim. 2:2)? “Discard” (Rev. 3:14-19)? “Pages missing” (2 Pet. 1:9)?
