Jesus told us that God is light and doesn’t have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you.
If we say that we share in life with God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living by the truth. But if we live in the light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus washes all our sins away. If we say that we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn’t in our hearts.
1 John 1:5-8
The Bible is like a recipe book. In it you find the instructions for living a gourmet life both now and forever. Without God's Word we would be saddled with futile attempts to put life together as it was meant to be lived.
Even as the importance and value of a recipe book is only seen when you prepare the dishes and serve them, the importance and value of the Word of God is only seen in a life that is lived according to the Book!
Obedience to the Word of God is more important than the knowledge of the Word. You can know every scripture by heart and still not be obedient to it. But when you know and obey even one verse of the Bible your life will take a step in the right direction.
Introducing men to the Word of God is wonderful and we must do it, but we must never ignore letting them taste and see what that Word does in an obedient life. When you read the Bible today ask the Lord to show you what you can do to obey those Words of Scripture. Then just do it!
