We have become so accustomed to saying the Bible that we don\u2019t read it daily, or do what it tells us to do to transform our lives so we can become holy because our Father is Holy. I can give one reason, it\u2019s the first word on the cover, \u201c<strong>HOLY\u201d<\/strong>. When we disregard it as Holy, it becomes just another book. This isn\u2019t just a book or a bunch of books put together, it is God\u2019s means of loving us, renewing us back to our original state of Holiness so we can fellowship with Him. God\u2019s Word is Holy because God is Holy. \u00a0In Nehemiah, we are told, \u201cFor all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law\u201d (Nehemiah 8:9). The Word should affect us when we read it or hear it read. We are also told that Jesus is the Word (John 1:14)! If the Word isn\u2019t transforming your life, you\u2019re either not abiding in Him, or it\u2019s not Holy to you. Let\u2019s refer to it as the HOLY BIBLE, and start regarding it as HOLY again!
