The Bible Its Own Best Defender

The Bible does not need our defense. It is its own best defender, and the best defender of every soul which trusts in words of life. “By the word of Thy lips,” says one of old, “I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” When Jesus was mightily assailed by the enemy, in every instance He met the assaults of the prince of darkness by the word. “It is written” was sufficient. “Thy word have I hidden in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee,” declares, the author of the one hundred and nineteenth psalm, Daniel perhaps. There is keeping power in God’s word to him who admits it into his heart. Why not hide in its impregnable fortress?
