Living Bibles

By Eliza H. Morton

IT is a sublime thought, that the sanctifying, uplifting, and cleansing power of God's word upon the heart will transform an individual into a living epistle, "known and read of all men." "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." 2 Cor. 3: 2, 3.

Many a soul who never opens the literal, printed Bible, is reading God's word day by day in the lives of His children. How carefully should the living representative of the Bible walk, that he in no way cause one of those with whom he associates to stumble! Nothing but constant daily prayer and the reading of the printed Word, as if it really were, as it is, the voice of God to us, will enable any one to represent it properly to others.
