PGW-74 2. For Christians who are neglecting the Bible
2. For Christians who are neglecting the Bible as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
1Pe 2:2 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
Jas 1:21-22 But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
2Ti 3:13-17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Beth. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. . . . Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. . . . The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.
Psa 119:9
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:1-2 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
