1. IS THE BIBLE?

All of Scripture:
2. SHOULD I READ THE BIBLE?
Psalm 32:8 (CSB)8 I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with my eye on you, I will give counsel.
Psalm 32:9 (CSB) 9 Do not be like a horse or mule, without understanding, that must be controlled with bit and bridle
or else it will not come near you.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.
Look how the Bible says Christians ought to walk:
Ephesians 4:1 Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received,
Isaiah 57:2 He will enter into peace—they will rest on their beds — everyone who lives uprightly.
1 John1:7 If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Micah 6:8 Mankind, he has told each of you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.
Psalm 119:11 I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him— 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Hebrews 4:12 12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
