Read 2 Timothy 3:14-17
KEY VERSE: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (VERSE 16)
The bible is our guide in life. As Christians, we are to read the bible to know God's plan for us. It also is our guidebook to everyday living. As we grow in our relatonship with our Lord Jesus Christ, we must always meditate upon his words. We do not read the bible to gain earthly knowledge, nor to boast and puff up ourselves. Rather, we read the bible to share God's good news to the world. In a world filled with darkness, the bible remains the lamp that lights our paths.
Sadly, some people read that read the bible twists the scriptures for their own gain. They will only use scriptures that will please their listeners and will not tell them and remind them about their salvation. This is quite dangerous, as some people feel that being in a church and listening to God's word by the pastor is enough. That's why "churchanity" became prevalent even to Christians. We need to read and understand the bible, and also ask some of our leaders about things that we don't understand.
We also need the bible to guide those brothers in Christ that are lost to get back in to God's loving arms. If we know the scriptures, then we can correct the brother if he has fallen away from the faith, and to show him the error of his ways. Finally, it is God's love letter to us. He loves us so much that everyday we read the bible we are reminded constantly about his love for us. His promises for us will never fail, that we will be with him forever when he comes back.
This is also one reason why my blog is entitled this way. I have recieved new life and meaning through God's word, and I pray that you will also. Choose a life in serving the Lord.
MAY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU,
