Book - Go by the Book

Postby dreams » Fri Oct 31, 2003 6:36 pm

Meaning: To follow standard written instructions or accepted practices.

The "Book" is the Bible. To go by the Book means to follow the commands of the Bible. Jesus consistently appealed to the written scriptures as the ultimate authority for living.

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 4:6-7
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Matthew 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
