There are many people out there that will tell you that they
have read the bible or studied the bible, yet they decided to go another
direction in life. Usually, but not always, these people who say that they have
studied religion or the bible in particular tend to have a prideful spirit that
keeps them from becoming enlightened to the word of God. Unfortunately the
bible is used a lot as a textbook to study about along with many other
religious books which already messes with the idea of seeking knowledge to
enrich the spirit but instead focuses on the seeking of knowledge in order to
say that they already know what they need know to be considered “cultured”.
I have heard someone on television say that they have read
the bible and it didn’t change their life or seemed enriching….of course it can
be that way if you:
A Don’t have the Holy Spirit indwelling
B Are not open spiritually, emotionally and intellectually
C Not in a desperate situation where you can yield yourself.
It can be hard for someone to read the word of God and be
indifferent about it or think of it as a story book when they don’t have any
idea of where to begin or how to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide them to
where they need to go in the word that will be an answer to something that they
have been looking for.
