There’s so much in the Word of God to learn from. It’s so amazing that many of God’s children are still in the realm of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, bless the bed that I lay on… If you tell them to open to Ephesians or any other book of the Bible, they’ll have to go to the table of contents. Yes, I know you have to start from somewhere, but you can’t stay there! It’s the desire of every father to see his child progress in his academics, from primary school to the University. So it is with your heavenly Father, He wants you to move up spiritually.
I know some people love reading, but it’s possible for someone to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and still not gain anything. You can’t read the Bible like a newspaper or history book; the Spirit of God can’t talk to you that way. I’ve always said that the Bible is more than just a catalogue of stories; it is a revelation!
Jesus said, “Search the scriptures…” (John 5:39) and Paul also said in 2 Timothy 2:15 that we should study the Word to show ourselves approved unto God. So you see, it’s more than merely reading the Bible. You need to search and study, then God by His Spirit can lead you and reveal greater things to you.
I love studying my Bible! The more I study, the more I discover that what I know is so little and I want to know more. Get to know God today through His Word, for to know Him is to love Him.
