“For indeed, we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them because it was not united by faith in those who heard.”
(Hebrews 4:2)
The Bible is the most powerful book ever written. It has the best news, the most stirring speeches, the deepest poignant lessons, and the farthest-reaching ideals which ever touched the souls of man.
Yet, it must touch our souls through faith if it is to do its glorious work. These divine words must be tethered to a heart of faith that will act upon what is read. The Bible is not for academics; it is for action. Critics and scholars never touch its glory though they pour over its pages. The soul that will stoop in prayer and application over one verse gains more from Scripture than a thousand readers who never raise a finger for the Writer of the Holy Writ.
When we unite doing with hearing – believing with reading – then the profit comes. Find one verse today to act upon. After all, He wrote it for you.
