Great Reasons To Bring Your Bible To Church
Great reasons to bring your Bible to church!
2 Chronicles 34:15 “And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD…”
The book had been lost for some time. True worship had been defiled with manmade instructions. It wasn’t until the book was found that they were able to please God. God’s people have always been a people of the Book (Nehemiah 8:1-3) one book, the Bible. The church is the house of the living God (1 Timothy 3:15). It is the place God’s people congregate around the Bible. It is a place where we learn to worship and show reverence to God. Below are seven reasons to bring your Bible to church:
- Identify: When you bring your Bible to church you identify yourself with God’s Word and he holds his word in very high esteem (Psalms 138:2).
- Varify: When you bring your Bible to church you can follow along with the preaching. Your Bible makes it possible to evaluate what is being taught. The Bible will keep you from being deceived. (Acts 17:11)
- Fortify: When you bring your Bible and use it you won’t have to worry about it distracting you with a ring. You won’t be tempted to text or check out of church mentally by viewing box scores or weather.
- Satisfy: When you bring your Bible to church you can underline scripture and jot down a word or statement that touched you.
- Intensify: When you use your Bible and open it your attention is clearly on the Word of God.
- Magnify: Having a visible Bible in hand allows you to be a good ambassador of God’s word.
- Testify: You can share with others who have not brought their Bibles.
