In the Concise Webster’s Dictionary ‘remarkable’ is defined by only two words, ‘noteworthy’- that is worthy or taking notice of, and ‘extraordinary’- that is uncommon. Both of these words as well as the word “remarkable” could be used to describe the Bible.
It is ‘noteworthy.’ Think for a minute about what you know about God? As a Christian, everything you know about God is what you’ve learned through His Word. The Bible was written by men through the inspiration of God that we might know God and His Son and of God’s purpose for His creation. That is truly ‘noteworthy!’
The Bible is ‘extraordinary’ in its origin and preservation. It began with the spoken word carried down through generations, its accuracy preserved by God. Eventually it evolved into the written word. While we do not possess the original writings, archeological discoveries have continued to prove the accuracy of the Bible as we have it today. It has defied attempts by those who would seek to destroy it. It is truly extraordinary.
It is ‘remarkable’ in its power to transform the lives of those who are exposed to and accept its teachings. It’s ‘gospel’ is “the power of God unto salvation” to those who believe in it (Romans 1:16). It is described as “…quick and powerful” in Hebrews 4:12, and “…is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” in the same verse. It is a ‘remarkable’ book; it is God’s Book. Let it ‘transform’ your life! (Another remarkable thing)
