Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become concious of sin. (Romans 3:20)
And how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. (James 1:18)
Human beings on their own have proven to be incapable of determining right from wrong. This is as true today as it was in the Garden of Eden and throughout all the generations since.
We need a guidebook to help us know what is sinful. Thankfully, God has provided us with his Holy Word to meet that need. We gain our relationship with Christ only through the Word!
The importance of regular Bible study for the individual believer and the preaching of the Word to the world cannot be overstated.
