What the Bible Says of Itself: 10 Items by Merrill Eng

Have you ever heard what the Word of God says it is to us?

Also, another example is lets say you never had a Oreo before, but you know everything about it such as it is creaming on the inside, but crunchy on the outside, it’s sweet, etc. But not until you have actually tasted and eaten it, can you actually experience the sweetness, richness of the Oreo.
