What is so important about learning to read? What is the most important that someone can read? Our elders have encouraged us to read the New Testament in 40 days. This lesson is an exhortation to spend time in God’s Word. His Word is a gift to humanity. James’s epistle reveals that every good and perfect gift is from God. God brings forth believers into new life by the Word of Truth. However, that Word must implant within one’s heart and soul for the Word to save the believer. The reader must approach the Bible with meekness and honestly consider its teachings. God intended for His Word to dwell within Christians. He commanded this. Becoming doers of God’s Word demonstrates that God’s Word in implanted. There is only one book that living and active. Therefore, you are responsible to read the Bible.
