In 1867, Russia sold the territory of Alaska to the U.S. for $7.2 million. A mere 50 years later, the Americans had earned that amount back 100 times over. Back then some had thought Secretary of State William Seward had taken us for a ride. It wasn’t that many years later, Americans were flocking to this desolate place because gold was discovered there.
Let’s bring that from their town to our town. How many journeying through this life disregard the Bible because they believe it contains nothing of value?
The Scripture uses gold to set forth the value of what the written word contains:
Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
The greatest transaction you will ever make is staking your soul on the truths of the Bible.
Think about it.
