The Person of the Bible
What perfect timing for today's ODB piece (thanks God!) as we take on the challenge of growing in Christ through regular intake of God's Word. Therein lies the key to unlocking every potential God has placed in each of us. If I can just get myself to look at the text, then anything becomes possible.

Your right Greg... God is always right on time and that's a good point, if we are to strengthen our relationship with God then we have to place ourselves in position to hear a fresh word from Him.
ReplyDeleteA great post! One of the errors many Christians make today is to disregard the Old Testament as being "out of date," somehow feeling that the New Testament has superceded the Old. However, Jesus was letting the religious leaders know that the Scriptures they studied (the OT) testified to Him.
ReplyDeleteTruth is...they ALL speak of Jesus Christ and reveal His nature and character to us, His followers.
I heard it said this way..."The Old Testament is the New Testament Concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed."
The author of the September 1 message states that an open heart and an inquirimg mind are necessary in order to study the Bible. While this is true, it is also important to call on the Holy Spirit to give you the desire to read the Bible and to help you understand Scripture as you read it. Before reading the Bible, I always pray and ask God to give me a fresh anointing of Holy Spirit and clarity of mind so that I can understand His Word as I read and study it.
