"Staying Committed"

"Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy way; thought Thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death." (Psalms 44:18 & 19) You might have noticed that I used more than one verse today; I just couldn't break these two verses up; they were meant for each other. Two things that come to mind for me here, without even giving it much thought; the first is the time when many people quit following Jesus because He said He was the Bread From Heaven, and then He turned to His disciples and asked, "Will ye also go away" (John 6:67); but Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." The second thing, which is a little harder to communicate, is when the Centurion sent friends to Jesus, asking Him to heal his servant with just a word; he sent them saying that he was not worthy that Jesus should enter under his roof, nor thought himself worthy to come unto Him, but that he believed Jesus could just say the word, and his servant would be made well. After hearing this, Jesus marveled at this man's faith, and turning around to those that followed Him, said, "I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel". (Luke 7:9) This first thing has to do with us knowing God's promise of eternal life; who else can promise that? so where else can we turn for the promise of eternal life, but to God? The second has to do with God's power, and the fact that God, with just a word, can do whatever it is that He wants to have done; so where else can we go for protection, but to God? Both of these understandings are based upon us believing that God's word is truth; if we cannot get past the very first verse of the Bible, then we have an issue; and if we cannot hold onto the verses given in Revelation 22:1-5 as that place we are destined for, then we have another issue. On the one hand we have an issue with believing God can do anything, and on the other hand we have an issue with being in heaven, because we either can't see ourselves there, or we are not yet convinced that it is real. So, how do you view the Bible? Is the Bible 100% true to you? or do you have doubt over certain parts of it? Or, like many other people in this world, even those that say they believe, do you think that much of the Bible is allegory, or even fictional events and stories meant to point us in a direction? If so, please pray that God would settle your heart in this area, and that, by the power of His Spirit, He would give you the truth... "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from things that are written in this Book." (Revelation 22:18 & 19)
