"Jesus prayed to the Father, 'Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth' (John 17:17). Scripture is God's Word written, and apart from it we cannot have a saving knowledge of God or grow in our relationship with Him. The Apostle Paul says God gave us the Scriptures to profit us through teaching, reproving, correcting, and training in righteousness so 'that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work' (2 Tim. 3:16–17). To grow in maturity, a Christian must grow in his understanding of and submission to Scripture. "A casual acquaintance with the Bible will not suffice, as Jesus makes clear in the conclusion of His Sermon on the Mount when He contrasts a house built on a rock that withstands the storms with one built on sand that is destroyed by them. The latter represents the person who merely hears the Word of Christ without submissively complying with it. His life lacks stability. The former is like the wise man who not only hears the teachings of Jesus but 'does them.' His life will be characterized by a maturity that stands firm through the trials of life. "God has designed His Word to shape us through reading and hearing (Romans 10:17; Revelation 1:3), through meditation and memorization (Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3; 119:11), and especially through faithful preaching (2 Timothy 4:1-5)." |
