The Bible is more than just a book; it is the very Word of God that transforms our lives. In his letters, the Apostle Paul tells us how important God’s word is to our daily lives All of the Bible admonishes the power of God’s Word; Isaiah 55:11 and Proverbs 30:5 also attest to the power of God’s word.

 

Open Your Bible and Study these Bible Passages

 

In Romans 12:2, Paul writes: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” This verse reminds us that when we read and apply the Bible in our lives, it renews our minds and helps us to conform to God’s will, rather than the ways of the world.

Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” This Bible verse reminds us that God’s word is powerful and always accomplishes what He intends for it to do.

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul writes: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The apostle Paul makes it so clear that every word in the Bible comes from God, not man! Every word.

Proverbs 30:5 says “Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” This Bible verse is so powerful because it reminds believers that the Bible is the word of God, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and God cannot lie; therefore, we can take refuge in His promises to protect, comfort, and strengthen us.

 

Study the Bible Don’t Just Read It

 

When we study, meditate on, and apply the Bible in our daily lives, it has the power to transform our lives. It is not just a book of history or a collection of stories; it is the living and active word of God, and it will transform how we live. Making the Bible a part of our daily routine will assist us in spiritual growth and becoming more like Christ.

It is critical to remember that God’s word is meant to be STUDIED and not just read. When we put the truth of the Bible into practice, it changes our hearts and minds, and we can see the difference in our daily lives. So let us make certain that we study, meditate, and apply the word of God in our daily lives and see the power of God’s word transform us. So we as believers can be the light (the gospel) that shines in this dark and evil world.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
