The Bible is the foundation of our truth as Christians. This book is so powerful and meaningful, but yet the statistical majority of Christians don’t read it on a regular basis. In a world where truth is relative and sometimes expendable, Scripture is our foundation, and it will always be our foundation when we have questions about who God is and what our purpose is in this world.
If you or someone close to you has some serious doubts and questions about the Bible, or had someone use it to abuse or manipulate you in a painful way, there's an invitation from Jesus, and an outstretched hand to take a hold of his hand and begin this journey of walking with him for the rest of your lifetime. As you grow to love Scripture more and have the Word of God imprinted on your heart, you also have a Christian community of brothers and sisters to walk with you as we dive into the good work of our Father together.
Jesus, who we are called to follow with all our lives, deeply loved Scriptures, and he said that words found in the Bible are pivotal for our transformation – making us more and more into the men and women that we were created to be. If Jesus, the son of God, viewed his life and purpose through the lens of Scripture, then we should follow his example. By spending time in the Word, we can practice clearing the stage of our heart for God to move in and do the work that only he can do.
Reflection/Discussion Question: How does Jesus's view of the importance of the Bible change your perspective?
