Whether they are King James Version Bibles or the NAS, we all possess at least one copy of God’s Word if we are a Christian. But just possessing one does not bring a Christian to maturity. It takes hard work and that means Bible study. For all the hard work, there are benefits in the end that far out way the cost. Benefits can be getting answers to life’s problems, building a foundation for an intimate prayer life with God, or defending the Christian faith, but the ultimate payoff reading Bible study guides is the knowledge leading to maturity and confidence as a Christian.
Lastly, how can we fulfill our true calling to be witnesses? Bible study is the only way Christians can defend the Christian faith properly. Just last week on a radio program I heard a woman who claimed to be a Christian try to defend “God hates divorce” and you could tell she was so ill-equipped to take on the Jewish host who claimed to know the Old Testament and referred to Moses’ Certificate of Divorcement. At that point, she could not respond properly due to her lack of knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments. I felt sorry for her because every time the host would respond she would be speechless. http://www.christianfamilysupply.com
