The Bible was given by God for specific purposes: to teach, to show the right path, to rebuke us when we stray, to lead us back, and to train us in righteousness so our character becomes complete and equipped for ministry. True study involves meditating on scripture daily, focusing on Christ revealed within it, rather than merely accumulating knowledge. Understanding scripture requires a humble heart, not just intellectual intelligence.
