The truths about the scriptures...

 2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The word of God is useful for us. It is life. This verse teaches us that the word in the bible, is God-breathed, it is there to teach us, to rebuke or correct us, to train us in being righteous and also it is there to equip us for every good work. It is loaded indeed. 

I believe, like our earthly parents, who want what's best for us, by showing us the way, teach us and correct us where we are wrong; it is the same with God. He wants what's best for us, and thus, He wouldn't allow or leave us destroy our lives and not say anything. He will use the scriptures to get us in line. If there's something He wants to teach us on, He will use the scriptures to send the message across. Similarly, He will use the scriptures to prepare us, equip us for the assignment He has for us. When you have such perspective about the bible, you'll never look at it (bible) in the same way, as a boring, big book that is intimidating or irrelevant. But you will look to it as a guide, a teacher, a best friend that will be honest with you in bringing you back into line. 

God speaks to us through the bible, which is why we need to invest time in reading it, and hearing what He has to say to us. I pray your perspective changes about the bible and you actually look forward to hearing what God has in store for you...
