No Substitute for Scripture

The Holy Bible is the authority for the life of God's people.  It is the rule for life, for theology, and for guidance in the life of the believer.  There is nothing more important for the believer than a regular, committed Bible study.

Holy Scripture is God's message to mankind.  It is how God communicates to us by the Holy Spirit.  When we read the Scripture, the Holy Spirit uses the text to transform our hearts and our lives.  Because of this, there is no substitute for Scripture.

Committing to a daily discipline of studying the Bible, then, is an essential component to the Christian life.  If we are not engaging His Word, we will not see the fruit that He has intended for us.  Only in prayerful Bible study do we grow the way God would have for us.

Let us then never forget to read the Bible for it is life for the believer.
