Most religious groups want to be holy. And God’s word teaches us how to be holy (c.f. 1 Peter 1:15-16). If those desiring to be holy simply did what God says to do, then the world would be a much better place. But for many, just “doing what the Bible says” seems oversimplified and they feel that there must be more to it than that.

Many people think that Bible reading and Bible study are the same. They are not. Simply reading the Bible is great for familiarizing ourselves with scripture, and for setting our minds on things above, rather than on things bellow. Bible study, however, goes deeper than Bible reading.

Sometimes the most impactful areas of ministry are the quietest...

We can take comfort in the soul saving ability of His word. God has kept and will always keep His promise to you. Will you do your best to keep your promise of obedience to Him?

To “abide,” in biblical context, most often refers to living or dwelling in a state of faith and obedience to God.

In Psalm 32:8, the psalmist pens God’s guidance: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go: I will counsel guide you with My eye upon you.” In this passage we should notice that our Creator loves us so that He would not leave us without attention and direction.

The Almighty God is ever present to faithfully honor His promises of covenant and mercy.

Do your best then to internalize Paul’s words from 1 Timothy 6: 6, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.”
