Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) The Bible is the most amazing book ever written and technically it isn’t one book. It’s actually 66 books written over a 1,500-year span by 40 writers from different walks of life. It was written by kings, philosophers, fishermen, poets, scholars and more. But they all wrote about one thing and that is God’s redemption of humanity. And God inspired every one of these individuals who wrote the Scriptures.
There are a lot of things that will come and go, from clothing styles to musical styles. But the Word of God is always the same, and Jesus Christ is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever. What is amazing is that even though a newspaper is outdated in a day or so, but God’s Word is always fresh and relevant to what we’re facing. It never goes out of style. The Word of God is perfect and completely trustworthy. Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever.” So we need to open it and hear what it has to say.
Paul also wrote, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2). As you read God’s Word, it will transform you. Let me put it this way, if you chew your food but don’t swallow it you will starve. The same is true when it comes to God’s Word. If you read it but don’t apply it you will starve spiritually. The Bible is for people who want to change more into what God created them to be. If you want to be a growing Christian, then you need to spend time in God’s Word because it will transform you. So read, love, study, and memorize the Word of God. Psalm 119:11 says, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” I encourage us all to make sure we spend time each day in God’s Word and allow it to transform us.
