| Reading the Bible – Part 1 |
| “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me” (John 5:36). |
| Some years ago in a young people’s periodical, entitled Truth for Young Christians, the following question was raised: Why is it we can read a three hundred page novel with ease, but we find it hard sometimes to schedule time each day to read a chapter from the Bible? |
| The young people were asked to send their thoughts on the subject, and here are some of the responses… |
| To enjoy the Word of God we must “search” the scriptures with our heart, and that is sometimes hard to do. |
| I believe it has a lot to do with a person’s state of soul. If you are away from the Lord, a novel is more interesting than the Word of God. |
| Satan will do all he can to prevent us from reading the Bible. |
| We like to avoid having our conscience stirred up. |
| We will list some further responses tomorrow. |
