This is a section from my teaching notes on the importance of the Bible. The list is a little rough but back when I first shared it so many people asked for it I decided to just post it the way it appeared. I hope it helps. I adapted this list from others I have heard across the years and one I found online. I should guess that about half of the material is original -- in that I didn't copy it from another source. But I am sure none of it is totally original - after all it is God's Word.

Enjoy!
