James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
I agree entirely on the apostle James. Reading the Bible or listening about it is one thing; while getting a revelation from it is another. However, what would be really short changing ourselves is hearing about the teachings of the Bible as if it was just an ordinary story book or a mere book that recorded history. The Bible is all of those and more. 2 Timothy 3:16 states that: “All Scripture is God-breathed.” The Bible contains the very words of God Himself. This behooves us to read and take more from The Bible more than how much we would take from our favorite earthly-written books.
