Bible Study (#2)

The Bible is God’s Word. The Bible is God’s wisdom. The Bible is a special gift from God to His children (us) so that He can speak to us and so that we can know Him and the plans He has for our lives. The Bible is the ultimate source of all the knowledge, understanding and wisdom we will ever need to live happy prosperous lives. There is a fundamental problem. Parents have stopped teaching their children from the Bible. Schools no longer provide any religious instruction whatsoever. In our increasingly secular world Christianity has been removed from the classroom and the halls of government. Our founding fathers created a country based on Judeo-Christian principles and would be appalled by our current state. We can all feel things are getting worse in our country and the world. Our society is crumbling, violence is increasing, morality is in decline and evil pervades everywhere. This all began to take shape as our society started to remove God from our lives and from the public square. We are reaping what we have sown.

We see the same thing play out in the Bible over and over. God would bless Israel, they would disobey God and move away from His law, and God would be forced to destroy Israel. We are not exempt from God’s judgement. God has blessed America above all nations but we have abandoned God and a righteous God will give us what we deserve. I don’t want to be all doom and gloom. There is a silver lining. In the Bible God told us this would happen. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we have been given the gift of eternal life from Father God and we are instructed not to worry. God commands us to study His Word so that He can speak to us and guide us through these end times. If you don’t want to remain in the dark about the world and future events then delve into your Bible and study it as if your life depended on it, because it does!

2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

When you know what God says, what He means, and how to put His truths into practice, you will be equipped for every circumstance of life. Let’s begin in earnest, right now this minute, by praying for God’s help and then opening your Bible anywhere and start reading. God is always with you and the Holy spirit will help you understand what you read.
