GOD'S Word Is GOD'S Wisdom To Us.

Reading GOD'S Word

"There is nothing more important
in the Christian life than the way 
in which we approach the Bible,
and the way in which we read it."
(Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

"GOD has given the Word to us
as a revelation . . .
  of HIMSELF,
  of HIS character,
  of HIS government,
  of HIS requirements.

Our motive in reading it, then,
should be to become better
acquainted with HIM, with HIS
perfections, with HIS will for us.

Our end in perusing HIS Word
should be learn how to please
and glorify HIM; and that, by our
characters being formed under
its holy influence, and our
conduct regulated in all its
details by the rules
HE has there laid down." (Arthur Pink)

"Our knowledge of GOD'S Word,
and delight in it, must be directed
to practice!" (Thomas Manton)

"The Scripture is given to establish
our faith, and comfort our hearts,
and sanctify our lives--
but not to amuse us and
to gratify our curiosity." (William Jay)
