The more we know about the Bible the more we become convinced it is an amazing Book. It is amazing in its unity. That is what makes cross reference study of the Scripture possible and  profitable. The Bible does not contradict itself in any point of doctrine. That is amazing because the Bible, though One Book, is made up of 66 books written by about 40  authors over a time span probably exceeding 1500 years. We couldn&#8217;t assemble 40 authors today who could write as many separate books on such controversial themes as the Bible contains and expect them all to write in full agreement with the others. The Bible is amazing in its depth. You cannot exhaust its contents. There is always more to learn. I have been studying the Bible seriously for 61 years and I suspect I have barely scratched the surface, much less exhausted its contents. The Bible is amazing in its clarity. Its most important themes pertaining to salvation are clear enough that a child can understand them (2 Timothy 3:15). The Bible is amazing in its prophecies. No other sacred book among the world&#8217;s religions ventures to make the kind of verifiable specific predictions regarding persons and places and events yet future to the time they were written like the Bible does.  The Bible is amazing in its impact on the lives of its readers. No other book can match the record of the Bible in changing lives for the better. The Bible is amazing in its presentation of the most perfect character and so the most amazing character this world has ever seen, our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, for all this, many people are not well acquainted with either the Bible or its Savior. The Bible is a most wonderful, amazing Book. Make time in your life to get to know it better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For those who desire to DIG DEEPER into this subject:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) Consult the cross references given in <em>Nelson\u2019s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible<\/em> on page 634 for Psalm 119:161.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Consult the cross references given in <em>The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge<\/em> on page 678 or in Logos 5 Bible software for Psalm 119:161.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Lacking access to those two resources, consult the cross references for this passage as I have developed them as given below:<\/p>\n<p>     Psalm 119:161.  <strong>Princes<\/strong>.  ver.
