3 Reasons Why The BIBLE Is Important
1. The BIBLE shows us how to be saved.
"JESUS performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may Believe that JESUS is the MESSIAH, the SON of GOD, and that by Believing you may have life in HIS name." --John 20:30-31
2. The BIBLE leads to spiritual growth.
"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby." -- I Peter 2:1-2
When we grow spiritually, we have a better understanding of the heart of GOD.
When we grow spiritually, we learn to trust GOD in times of anxiety.
When we grow spiritually, we begin to look more like the LORD.
Accept the JESUS of the Bible!
3. The BIBLE assures us of our salvation.
"I write these things to you who Believe in the name of the SON of GOD so that you may know that you have eternal life."
-- I John 5:13
Complete unwavering assurance

William Tyndale ---- He passed away on October 6, 1536
(1494-1536)
Tyndale's translation was the first English Bible to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts, the first English translation to use Jehovah ("Iehouah") as God's name as preferred by English Protestant Reformers,[4] the first English translation to take advantage of the printing press, and first of the new English Bibles of the Reformation.
It was taken to be a direct challenge to the hegemony of both the Catholic Church and the laws of England maintaining the church's position.
In 1530, Tyndale also wrote The Practyse of Prelates, opposing Henry VIII's annulment of his own marriage on the grounds that it contravened Scripture.
In 1536, he was convicted of heresy and executed by strangulation, after which his body was burnt at the stake.
His dying prayer was that the King of England's eyes would be opened; this seemed to find its fulfillment just one year later with Henry's authorization of the Matthew Bible, which was largely Tyndale's own work - missing sections supplemented with translations by John Rogers and Miles Coverdale.
