OUR ALL – Principles of Discipleship Part 7 (love the Word)

Christ’s followers also love and are passionately devoted to His Word. They love to spend time listening to what God has to say. Can you imagine? We actually have access to God’s Word. That is an incredible privilege, that mere imperfect humans as we are, are able to listen to God speak through His Word.

Jesus said “If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.” John 8:31. To finish strong in a race, we most prepare as much as we can, and what better way than to fill our minds with God’s Word. Allegiance to God’s Word is a continual desire for those that truly follow Jesus. Our love for God is directly related to our love for His Word. Jesus said in John 14:21 that “Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me.”

There are so many benefits to reading and putting the Bible into practice, that I would run out of space, but I just want to mention a few:
- It brings happiness to our lives. Psalm 11:2
- It helps us be pure. Psalm 119:9
- It helps us not to sin. Palm 119:11
- It fills our lives with joy. Psalm 119:14
- It revives us. Palm 119:25
