Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. Psalm 119:24 NKJV
Joy and wisdom flow from studying God’s Word. Both individually and corporately, believers must be “people of the Bible,” basing our lives on the eternal Scriptures. We are born again through the Word (1 Peter 1:23), sanctified by its truth (John 17:17), and instructed through its light (Ps. 119:105). The church’s doctrines and deeds must be biblically determined (1 Tim. 3:15-16). Human opinion should bow to its precepts, and Christian conduct ought to conform to
its teaching. Daily immersion in this fount of truth is essential for our spiritual growth. We delight in communing with our altogether lovely Lord by reading our Bibles. —Keith Keyser
May Thy Word be dearer still, and studied more each day;
And as it richly dwells within, Thyself in it display. —E. Bickersteth
