The Word of God

“The word of God endures for ever.”
— 1 Peter 1:25

“Study the Bible … with prayer. Seek the Lord there, and not knowledge — that will come too; but the heart is well directed in seeking the Lord.”

“I think … you have studied too much, and read the Bible too little. I always find that I have to be on my guard on this point. It is the teaching of God, and not the labour of man, that makes us enter into the thoughts and the purposes of God in the Bible … I do not think that any one will believe that I do not wish it should be much read, but I do wish it should be read with God.”
