IT IS NOT ENOUGH

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

It is very important that we study the Bible because we want to please God.  However, it is not enough just to study the Bible.  We also need to put what it teaches us into practice.  If we don’t put it into practice, it would be like going to college for years to be a doctor but never put what we learned into practice.  Jesus tells us in the Bible we are to love each other unconditionally.

Do we love one another unconditionally?  If we don’t, we are hurting Him and breaking His heart.  Jesus has set the example for us by loving us unconditionally.  May God help us to love one another as Jesus loves us.  We have a compassionate loving Saviour Who loves us so much He died for us.

Another reason why we should study the Bible is so we will know when someone says something about the Bible that is not true.  Someone said “Proverbs is not part of the Bible and you should not believe anything in it”.  I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that Proverbs is part of the Bible.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You gave Jesus to die for our sins on the cross.  I pray we will study Your Word and make You happy.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
