Who does God want to have access to the Bible?
God has placed His Word into the hands of every person who wants to handle it. He did not leave Scripture under the control of angels or highly educated seminarians. Instead, God makes the Bible accessible to common, ordinary people, using human instruments to lead others to a knowledge of salvation.
Les explains that God did not leave His Word in the control of angels or highly educated seminarians. Rather, God placed His Word, with the leading of the Holy Spirit, into the hands of every person who wants to handle it. When someone needs to understand the plan of salvation, God does not send an angel or a super-educated person; He uses common, ordinary people. Philip is the human instrument in this account, just as other human instruments lead others to salvation. Les notes that only one or two people he has heard of came to salvation merely by reading the Bible alone, such as a man snowbound in northern Canada. So the Bible is for anyone willing to handle it.
