Most of us develop proficiency in some area of life. Schoolteachers master their subjects. Investors grasp the ins and outs of the stock market. Mechanics learn their way around engines. Baristas learn to make the perfect caramel macchiato.
Christians should become proficient with God’s Word, for the moment we trust Christ as Savior, we enter the school of Scripture. We hear it being taught and preached; we read books about it; but most of all, we spend time reading it line by line, precept upon precept, word upon word. The Bible may seem confusing at first, but the more we study it, the clearer it becomes.
As we read the Bible as seen in 2 Timothy 3:16, we learn more about God’s truth (doctrine). We learn what we’re doing wrong (reproof). We often read a passage about how we can live better (correction). And much of the Bible simply helps us grow to be more like Christ (instruction in righteousness).
Perhaps we should trade in some television or social media time for serious Bible study. It’s more profitable!
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.
Psalm 119:9-16
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by
taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me
not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might
not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of
thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as
much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect
unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word.
The Scriptures contain the deep things of God, and
therefore, can never be sufficiently searched into
by a careless, superficial, cursory way of reading
them, but by an industrious, close, and humble
application. ~ George Whitefield

Wonderful post!!
when we give our life to Christ we are just like an infant child that need the breast milk to grow. So we need the word of God to grow and we can do that by reading the bible and listen to our fellow Christ brothers and sisters. Thank you for for the message and for your continuer support to me. God bless you.

The word of God is the perfect manual of life that the Lord left us, there we find everything that man needs to live according to the will of God ... If we search daily God will give us daily his advice, his norm , his will, through each word we read.
@deathlyhorror I have discovered that Christianity is nothing certainly without God's word. I agree totally to the fact that we need to be enrolled fully into the school of the word. To know God, we need the fullness of his word Jesus. The faith activator. I am blessed by this writeup. Thanks@deathlyhorror
