Lesson No. 3
Many people believe that the Bible is God's Word, but they never read it. They say they have faith in God, but never rely upon God's promises revealed in the Bible. They claim to be Christians, but they do not follow Christ and His teachings. They say that they love God, but, they never read God's love letter. Nobody can love a stranger. If we are not spending time to know God through Bible Study, then we can't know Him personally. If we do not know Him, then we can never learn to love Him. If we do not love Him, then, we cannot obey Him. The secret of obedience is knowing God and learning about Him through Bible Study.
