The benefit of knowing the Word of God
The Bible is still the only source of divine revelation and power that can sustain it on its way with God. Notice these promises made in the Scripture.
The Bible is the source of
The Truth: "Sanctify them in your truth; your word is truth "(John 17:17).
The blessing of God: "And he said, Blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it" (Luke 11:28).
** Victoria:** "... the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17).
Spiritual growth: "Desire as unborn children as newborn children, so that by it you may grow up for salvation" (1 Peter 2: 2).
Power: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew, and also to the Greek "(Romans 1:16).
Direction: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and lights to my path" (Psalm 119: 105).
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
that I may follow it to the end.( Psalm 119: 33)
Reese Kauffman, president of Child Evangelism Fellowship, grew up in a Christian home, where he was taught certain habits in his life as a child.
Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it. (proverb 22-6)
For example:
His mother had a ritual at bedtime from which he never left:
** BRUSH THE TEETH AND READ THE BIBLE. **
Those were 2 rules that never changed in that home. Every night he brushed his teeth and read a chapter of the bible.
Even in his youth, dedicated to business, and having departed from the Lord, he never abandoned that habit. *** BRUSH THE TEETH AND READ THE BIBLE **
And it was a night when he read Psalm 139 before going to bed, that God spoke to him and took over his life. Now years later, the man still maintains the same teaching of his mother *** BRUSH THE TEETH AND READ THE BIBLE ***
Maybe the most important aspect of bible study is perseverance: It is better to study a little of God's word every day than to try to absorb much of the bible in a random study. Find the pattern that serves, and turn off to it.
