The Use of Scripture
From the Latin scriptura, which means “writings” or script, the sacred texts of Christianity are laid down by men inspired by God to guide the faithful to Christ. They are there to lead us to the truth. The verse below explains perfectly the purpose of the scripture—to aid Christians to live a full life in the goodness of the Lord.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16, NIV)
Understanding the scripture is essential if we desire to live a good life that is fulfilling in all aspects. Only in understanding the Word of God we can be more receptive to the blessings of happiness, joy, hope, peace, love, and improved health.
Here’s a daily ritual you can do at home.
When you wake up, read a verse from the Bible and contemplate on how you can apply the Word of God on that day. Before going to sleep, read the passage again and reflect about how it brought improvement to your day. Reflecting upon these holy words will create a more thoughtful attitude in you and will bring inner peace and tranquility to your soul.
So don’t be daunted by the challenges that each day can bring. Just remember that the Lord has provided us with words that can aid us, and by practicing daily, you are sure to live a full and happy life with blessings from above.
My journey of discovering the Holy Bible’s use in my life changed me in different ways. I’d love to share it with you too. Check out my book, My Journey! I am also on Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads!
