The Bible is a book of life,
A treasure chest of truth -
... reviving the soul
... making wise the simple
... giving joy to the heart
... giving light to the eyes
... more precious than gold
... sweeter than honey
and in obeying it's teachings there is a great reward
The more of the bible you know, the more in line with God's purposes will be your decision making. If people were more familiar with the bible, then there would be much less confusion as to how they should act in difficult situations.
We can overcome satan by using God's word. And to be able to use it we must know it. We need to meditate on the word for it to be in your life. It needs to be in your life so that you can apply it.
It is not sufficient to just receive the word, one must respond to it an active obedience. Do not merely listen to the word, do what it says.
God's word is:
Inspired by God
Alive
Authoritive and
Truth
Don't worry about what you do not understand. Worry about what you do understand in the bible but do not live by.
The word of God provides footings for our faith.
Most people do not research the word of God very deeply. As a result they get confused about why they are not powerful christians living victorious lives. Most of them really don't put much effort of their own into the study of the word. A person will get out of the word what they are willing to put into it.
The word of God is a two-edged sword. It must be used against the enemy. A sword in it's sheath won't do any good in an attack. The word of God is the only offense/weapon we have. The rest of the armour of God is used as defense. See Ephesians 6 from Verse 10
To find out more about why we need to read the bible read Psalm 119
Have a great read
