TOPIC: THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE HOLY BIBLE
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
Hebrew 4:12-13
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
1 Corinthian 1: 18-19
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
The Word of God, the Holy Bible, was given to us by the Creator for the profit and benefit of mankind. It convicts us of our need of a Saviour, and shows us how to reproof and correct our ways . It informs us of what God expects of His children, and guides us along the road of righteous living.
So penetratingly piercing is the Word of God, that it has the ability to separate the soul of man from the born-again spirit, just as the butcher's razor-sharp blade slices the joint of meat from the marrow-bone. The Spirit of the living God is able to judge the deepest thoughts and intentions of the heart of every man.
For those who pride themselves on their own wisdom, the cross appears to be foolishness—nonsense. But human wisdom, attractive as it might seem on the surface, has no saving power. No matter how intelligent they might be, people who depend on human wisdom alone are perishing.
We are lucky that we have Grace Bible College to teach us the word of God and for having the privilege to study from anywhere.
We have to remember that God sees everything. We are all naked to his eyes. So, the most important question is, do you think you deserve to be saved? Will the Word of God leave an impact to you?
We have to ponder upon these questions and introspect before it is too late.
