Yesterday a sister told me that she was impressed by her new friend who has a very good knowledge of the Bible and can quote verses to handle life issues but yet the person does not believe the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is so easy to treat the Bible as another book for reading but it can be quite dangerous if we missed "HIM".
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these testify about me.
John 5:40 Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
2 Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Paul spent his life on earth to achieve only one thing ie. to gain Christ.
Phil 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Ya agree! Must be very careful! Very recently, I seek the Lord as to why my spiritual condition seems to be down and low. Guess what? His answer is "I would rather you be either hot or cold, but not lukewarm, for I will spew you out!" Quite scary. I quickly asked God for forgiveness and also seek wisdom and discernment. His answer - always seek His Word, pray, praise and worship! Sometimes when we are too busy, we simply put Him after other 'important' things.
