Don’t Forget The Price That Was Paid

“Your word is more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.” Psalm 19:10

William Tyndale translated the Bible into English while living in Germany, and in 1525, he was able to publish the New Testament in English. But the church authorities at that time were not pleased, they arrested him and brought him back to England where he was burned at the stake.

As he was dying, he uttered these words: “Lord open the eyes of the King of England.” His prayer was a prophecy, as it was the King of England, King James, who finally did publish the entire Bible in English about a hundred years later.

Our English Bible translations became a reality through William Tyndale’s heroic sacrifice and bravery at the price of his blood.

Don’t continue to let your Bible just sit on the shelf. Consider the price that was paid so you could get to read it. Please take full advantage of this precious gift.

“For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4
