One area, of great sadness, I encounter when speaking to fellow believers regarding their walk with the LORD JESUS CHRIST, is their daily reading (or lack there of) of HIS Word, the Word of GOD – the Bible.
A recent survey found that a very low number of “Christians” read their Bibles regularly outside of church. Making this survey all the more alarming is the definition or standard given. A regular Bible reader is defined as a person who reads their Bible more than four times a year outside of church. Wow! So much can be said about this, but the one which jumps out at me is lack of love for GOD.
This short video we look at why reading the Word of GOD – the Bible is the expectation and necessary for the believer. It is not something we add on, but what builds us up in respect to salvation.
13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)
