THE BIBLE
is a book that is not merely for reading. It is a book for
studying so that it can be applied. Otherwise, it is like tasting food without swallowing and then spitting it back out again — no nutritional value is gained. The Bible is God’s Word for Spiritual Growth…… We should read and study the Bible because: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
God’s Word to us. Totally reliable and without error Is always relevant Helps to discern truth from falsehood Equips us to serve Tells us when to resist or flee from sin
Are you Studying The Bible?
