The Joy of God’s Word
The fundamental reason the Word of God is essential to joy in God is that God reveals himself mainly by his Word.

You May Be the Only Bible Some People Ever Read
The best advertisement of Christianity is a good life. People read us a great deal more than they read the Bible.

If Jesus Is Who He Says He Is…
If Jesus is who he says he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what culture deems most important but in radical abandonment to Jesus.
David Platt, Radical (Colorado Springs, Co.: Multnomah Books, 2010), 3.
Invited to the Greatness of Glory
God’s grace invites you to be part of something that is far greater than your boldest and most expansive dream. His grace cuts a hole in your self-built prison and invites you to step into something so huge, so significant that only one word in the Bible can adequately capture it. That word is glory.
Paul David Tripp, A Quest for More (Greensboro, NC: New Growth Press, 2007), 18.
Nothing without the Bible
God uses His Word to make us what we could not be on our own.

Bread Is Baked… A House Is Built… The Bible Is Given…
Bread is baked, not for analysis but for consumption. A house is built, not to be surveyed and criticised but to be inhabited. The Bible is given to us that we might know God, and live the life of His plan for us.
W. Graham Scroggie, The Unfolding Drama of Redemption (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1970), Preface.
Satan Could Be the Greatest Disciple Ever If…
While all true disciples are theologians, not all theologians are true disciples. If knowing the Bible and understanding theology were reliable measures of discipleship, Satan would be the greatest disciple ever. After all, his knowledge of Scripture is exceptional and he’s been observing the spiritual realm for quite a long time.

The Reason for Every Religious Error
Ignorance of Scripture is the root of every error in religion, and the source of every heresy.
