When man shuns God’s word, he passes up his only hope for knowing what sin is and how it affects him both now and for all eternity.
People in the world are generally quite self-centered. Even saved people are often lovers of their own selves instead of preferring one another.
If there is anything in this world worthy of man’s respect, it is the Bible. God’s word is far superior to any other book to which man may wish to compare it.
