On READING THE SCRIPTURES
Reading 1 Cor1:2. 10:32.
How Readest thou (Luke 10:26)
Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. (1 Timothy 4:13),
We should read the scriptures To know the man Jesus
We should read scripture to discover life and how live holy
We should read the scripture to keep our soul saved and our love pure
We should read the scripture to obtain wisdom and so become success
We should read the scriptures to be a people of faith power and confidence
We should read the scriptures to keep us saved and right with God
We should read the scriptures because we love the Lord
1.We can stand to read the scriptures
Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. (Nehemiah 8:5)
2. When we read the scriptures we discover our inheritance in Christ.
Then afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law. There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them. (Joshua 8:34,35).
3.There is a Blessing that comes form reading the Scriptures
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Rev 1:3).
4. We discover what is Good, right and proper in the scriptures
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; (1 Thess 5:21).
NOTES:
There is Illumination that comes from reading the scriptures
Jesus stood up and read the scriptures. Luke 4:16 ‘And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.’
As you read the scriptures, the supernatural can take place. You will find the presence of God real and be able to hear him speak through the written word.
There is authority that comes from reading the scriptures.
Reading gives knowledge and knowledge understanding. Paul writes like this. “Do not be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God” (Romans 12:2). Reading the scriptures helps us understand God’s will for our lives. Many are constantly asking what is God’s will for me. If you will only take the time to read the scriptures then you will clearly know God’s will for you. It is true God uses those that are readers. for expounding and explaining are part of the ministers duties. God uses those that are readers! If you are a reader God will use you!
If you read the scriptures you will have direction and confidence to serve him, in church and in the world as a living active witness. A person who is a witness is first a reader for the scriptures unlock confidence thus making his witness authentic and real.
There is Ministry that comes from reading the Scriptures. Reading will make you a confident witness. You’ll have knowledge that will let your light shine. and the reason is this the light has first shined in you. God has spoken to you and that working of his word provide the confidence needed to be a light in a dark world. You’ll have answers that others wont have and be confident to engage with folks that others find unapproachable.
How he made known to me the mystery (Paul).
The Lord has yet more truth to break forth out of his word. Luther and Calvin were great and shining lights in their times, yet they penetrated not into the whole counsel of God; but were they now living would be willing to embrace more light, as that which they had first received. I beseech you to remember it- is is as an article of your church covenant that you be ready to receive whatever truth is made known to you from the written word (Rev John Robertson. Puritan leader)
