GO BEYOND READING

Colossians 3:16 says “Let the Word of Christ dwell

in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing

one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord”.

Our spiritual disciplines——reading God’s

Word along with accompanying study or devotional

materials, prayer, and worshiping together, should not

be ends in themselves. Instead, those actions are means

to becoming more Christlike, more godly, more Spirit-led. 

Our spiritual practice should lead to having the

“Word of Christ dwell in (us) richly”. That will show in

everything we do and say. The Bible is meant to

encourage Christian growth and godly grace.

As followers of Christ who read the Bible everyday,

we hope we are moving toward spiritual maturity that

leads to “tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness,

longsuffering,” qualities Paul says we should

“put on” (Col. 3:12).

Bible study is not merely to inform us,

it’s meant to transforms us.
