Scripture is an amazing gift to mankind. According to 2 Timothy 3:16, Scripture was breathed out by God Himself, meaning it is His very Word given to us. God breathed Scripture so we can know Him. How incredible is that? The God of the universe wants you to know Him! Throughout every chapter and every verse, God shows the very character of who He is and what He has done for us. But, how can we love what we do not know? If we do not spend time reading His Word, both corporately as a Church and individually, how can we know Him? If we do not know Him, how can we love Him?

Another reason He gave us His Word is for the purpose of teaching, correcting and equipping. Scripture is to be the authority for correction and the foundation for teaching and equipping. Those things, along with knowing God, are important so that we (His Church) might become spiritually mature and equipped for His Work.

What has God shown you about Himself lately through His Word?

What does your daily time in God’s Word look like? Does it equip you or is it completely missing?
