Many books and writings are powerful and impactful. Some written works are read, used, and appreciated for generations. While man’s writings may be impactful, none can be called a “living word.” That’s just part of what separates the Bible from all other writings. Because Scripture is the Word of God, it’s more than just a collection of helpful and insightful writings. Scripture is the very Word of God revealed to humanity. Thus, the Bible isn’t just a self-help book or something to help us develop better habits and characteristics. The Word of God can actively transform us and lead us to the eternal life God offers His faithful children. Don’t neglect reading and studying the living and abiding Word of God!
