Why Study The Word Of God?

Would you go into battle without your weapon knowing that your life depended on you having your weapon? No! Of course you wouldn't go to battle without a weapon. Well I have news for you. You are in a battle as we speak. You may not be able to see your enemy but believe me he is out there and he is prepared.
Ephesians; 6:12
(For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.)

How are you going to battle a enemy you can't see? The first thing is to give your life to Jesus. Put your faith into His hands and follow Him. The second thing is to educate yourself in the Word of God. Your being versed in the Word is what will allow you to recognize enemy ambushes. If you are walking without Jesus, you are grave danger of destruction. Yes! Your life is in danger. Not only your physical life but your eternal life. Studying God's Word allows you to arm yourself with knowledge which is from God and can only be understood with the Holy Spirits help.

Ephesians; 6:1-2
(Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.)
Wiles or schemes is the devil's way to trap you and destroy you. These schemes include every sin, immoral practice, false theology, false religion, and worldly enticement. By being prepared with knowledge from God, you are less likely to fall into one of the devil's traps. That is why we are instructed to walk in the light not darkness. If you are walking in darkness, you are unable to see where you are going. Don't put your eternal life in jeopardy, make a decision to walk with Jesus today. Ask Jesus to come into your your life and be your Lord and Savior. He tells us that if we will just call on Him we will be saved. There is no other way but through Jesus.

It is vital that we understand the spiritual nature of our conflict and the only place to learn this knowledge is in the Bible. It's a matter of 'ETERNAL LIFE' or 'ETERNAL DAMNATION'. Make the right decision.

God Bless You!
