By Emma Danzey

 “And with out religion, it’s unimaginable to please him, for whoever would draw close to to God should consider that he exists and that he rewards those that search him.” – Hebrews 11:6

Once we place confidence in Jesus, we’ll draw close to to Him as a result of we consider that He exists. It is rather straightforward to underappreciate our Bibles. Once we take into account that there are nonetheless many individuals internationally who would not have the Scriptures translated into their language, we’re reminded that we now have been entrusted with a present. Nonetheless, it might probably typically not really feel like a present. Typically we will consider that studying the Bible is a guidelines to “be good” or simply a part of a every day behavior. 

Studying the Bible is way more than a to-do record or a self-help e-book. It’s coming to the dwelling and lively Phrase of God to be remodeled. (Hebrews 4:12) It’s a weapon of non secular warfare. (Ephesians 6:17) It’s breathed by the Lord. (2 Timothy 3:16) Once we make an intentional choice to learn the Bible, we’re saying sure to the King of King’s invitation to talk life into our on a regular basis day, to refine the areas of our lives which might be sinful, and to develop as disciples of Jesus by listening to His direct teachings. 

Identical to a pal would invite us to espresso or a member of the family would name us on the telephone to catch up. Each day, our Bibles are Christ’s invitation to talk to us. We get to make the selection if we need to interact with Him or ignore Him. I can actually say that I’ve by no means regretted spending time with God. Every second within the Bible is a treasured alternative to know our Savior and to grasp His redemptive plan from the start of Genesis all over the top of Revelation. Right now, we’re going to spend a second praying to see God’s Phrase as a private invitation every day. 

Let’s pray:
