The Spiritual Discipline of Reading the Bible

On 10th January, we gathered together to learn about the Spiritual discipline of reading the bible.
Why must we read the bible? Jesus says in Matthew 4:4 : "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Mouth of God = the bible.

Some ways we can receive the Word of God
1. Listening to Sermon (one of the easiest ways,yet,we have to discipline ourselves to get up early)
2. Studying God's word

After receiving the word of God........
we are called to OBEY
Luke 11: 28 Jesus says "Blessed rather are those who receive the Word and keep it"

Where does faith to obey comes from???
Hint : Romans 10:17

What is Scripture used for?
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

We are encouraged to memorise scripture...why?.
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart so that I might not sin against you.

And we have to meditate on Scripture. It allows us to think deeper and put them into practice.
