destiny said:Jesus lives in my heart, but His word advances my knowledge of His ways so that I know how to live a godly life.
Also it helps me to hold everything up to the light of scripture so that I won't be decieved.
If I believe all scripture is God breathed, I can't seperate the words from the person, they are interwoven.
I better understand things about Jesus' and His expectations for Holy living, by reading my bible. Yet he lives in my heart.Do you think you know Jesus by reading your Bible? Or do you think you know things about Jesus by reading your Bible?

If I didn't know the word, I wouldn't know His ways.

Scripture is the breath of God, it refreshens me when God brings it to life and it jumps off of the pages and is quickened in my soul. You should feel it!Adams son said:destiny said:Sometimes I like to read Jesus, so that I understand Him better.
That statement pretty much says it all.
So your Bible is Jesus?
What about the 73 book Catholic Bible? Is that Jesus wearing some bad clothes?
Amen.PotLuck said:From the beginning to the end the bible is all about Christ. The OT looks forward to Him in faith, the NT looks back to Him in faith. The bible is God's testimony to His pursuit of Man.
I read the bible to get to know more about Christ, who He is, why he had to do what He did. There's purpose of God telling prophets or the Apostles to write something down or reason for the Jewish laws to be put into a scroll, a book. The Pentateuch, the first 5 books of the bible were read constantly in the early synagogues to teach the people, in them was the laws they were to follow, and in them was the hope of Christ's birth, the Messiah.
From the first verse in Genesis to Revelation Christ is there.
I love Jesus, I want to get to know more of Him. If one loves somebody there's a desire, a hunger to get to know them more. Scripture fulfills that need. This desire is also the biggest reason to attend church, to hear His Word, to get to know Him, to form a more perfect relationship with the Saviour Jesus Christ. In like manner those of ancient Jewish history did the same in the synagogues to hear the reading of the Pentateuch.
The bible is God's Word, it's His testimony to His people, to His children, to the believer. And the Word became flesh and lived among us. This was Christ, this was the Lamb of God.
God's Word can not be separated from God. Therefore His Word exists. To ask what if it didn't exist is a question to no end since indeed the bible does exist. When I read the bible I read of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
