Neglecting the Bible Rom. 10:17 CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO

When you neglect the reading of your Bible and you neglect attending to the preaching and teaching of the Bible, you affect some very important things in your life.  Neglecting the Bible affects your:

Spiritual Walk – Rom 10:17; 2 Cor 5:7. You become self-reliant rather than God reliant. Thus, you cannot walk by faith without the Bible, which is the source of faith.

Spiritual Light – Ps 119:105; Ps 119:133. We don’t walk by blind faith. God’s words light our path every step of the way we walk. You must have spiritual light to see God’s direction in your life.

Spiritual Cleansing – Jn 15:3; 2 Cor 7:1; Eph 5:26. Living in this world you are going to be defiled everyday. And so everyday you need spiritual cleansing. You must read and bathe in the words of God everyday.

Spiritual Nourishment – Matt 4:4. In the same way that your body must have physical nourishment from food, your spirit must have spiritual nourishment from the Bible.

Spiritual Growth – 1 Pet 2:2; 1 Cor 3:1-3; Eph 4:11-15. It is unnatural for your body to remain the same as it was when you were born. Your body grows. Likewise, it is spiritually unnatural for you not to grow spiritually. And you cannot grow apart from the Bible.

Conclusion: Therefore, buy a King James Bible. Read it everyday. Pray for God to help you to understand it. Nourish yourself in it’s words. Seek God’s direction by it.  Find a good church where the preacher preaches the words of God faithfully and get all you can from the preaching and teaching of God’s words.
