Bible Truths – Does The Bible Say?

Get familiar with Bible truths compared to just sayings. 

God’s Words vs. Man’s Words

Years ago, I wondered what the Bible said about the day’s topics.  I also wondered where my mom and dad got those one-liners such as, “Doing unto others as I would want them to do to me?” Or, “That we ought to love one another?” It made me think about other sayings and whether they were actually from the Bible the Bible or not.

I learned over some time that many expressions may sound like they are from the Bible, but they are not! Below you will see what I am referring to. I hope this will encourage you to read your Bible to learn what it says and does not. I hope and pray that you grow closer to God through Bible truths. Remember that the Bible is full of wisdom and Godly counsel that we need to live Christ-like lives. ~ Bill Greguska
