As Christians, we are called to be doers of the word, not just hearers (James 1:22). However, it can be challenging to know where to start when it comes to studying scripture. With so many translations and interpretations available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
But what if I told you that there is a way to unlock the power of scripture? By immersing ourselves in God's word, we can gain a deeper understanding of His character and will for our lives.
When we study scripture, we are not just learning facts about God's character; we are also being transformed into His likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18). This transformation is not limited to our spiritual lives but can also impact every area of our existence.
By applying the principles and teachings found in scripture, we can experience breakthroughs in our relationships, careers, and overall well-being.
So, where do we start? The first step is to establish a consistent routine. Set aside time each day or week to study scripture, and make it a priority.
Next, choose a translation that resonates with you. Whether it's the NIV, ESV, or another version, find one that speaks to your heart.
