The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts. - A. W. Tozer
The research is clear. A vibrant, transforming relationship with God starts with engaging His Word and reflecting on it.
In just one example, the authors of the Reveal study as reported in the book Move, looked at 50 different factors that impact spiritual growth in their study of 250,000 people in 1,000 different churches. Their conclusion was "Nothing has a greater impact on spiritual growth than reflection on Scripture... If churches could do only one thing to help people at all levels of spiritual maturity grow in their relationship with Christ, their choice is clear. They would inspire, encourage, and equip their people to read the Bible ― specifically, to reflect on Scripture for meaning in their lives...The Bible is the most powerful catalyst for spiritual growth. The Bible's power to advance spiritual growth is unrivaled by anything else we've discovered."
But many don't know how to delve deeper, or have a variety of techniques at hand that can enrich their time in the Bible beyond reading plans and academic study. The Abide Bible both guides and teaches Scripture engagement with prompts for five proven methods so that the Word may "dwell in you richly." (Col.3:16)
Remember, it's not hasty reading, but serious meditating upon holy and heavenly truths, that make them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. - Thomas Brooks
