Why the Bible matters...
The apostle John begins his gospel by declaring, “In the beginning was the Word..."
Everything God does begins with His Word. Sometimes it’s a new word that aligns with His revelation in Scripture, and sometimes it is a reminder of His already established Word. But we can be sure that if God is doing something, it will begin with His Word.
It is about reading and comprehending - listening and talking about the Scripture in your own language. People who are literate in a language can not only read in that language, but they can also communicate with others. Raising up biblically literate people means we share and compare our biblical understanding with others in and outside our community of faith. We learn faster and more accurately in community.
If you are learning a new language, the ultimate marker that you are fully fluent is the ability to think and plan your life in that language. We must allow Scripture to transform our minds (Romans 12:2). Once the Bible changes our thinking so that we plan and react according to what God’s Word reveals, we will live a transformed life.
