How would you prioritize the three reasons given in this lesson for studying the Bible: “It is essential to knowing and loving God;” “It is essential for growing up in God;” and “It is essential to serving God”? What is the basis for how you prioritize them?
-
I am prioritizing serving, growing, and knowing. I chose serving first because in order to affect those around me, I must first serve the Lord.
-
All three are essential for knowing God; Loving Him the more; serving God also living a life that exemplifies that you do know God and you are in pursuit of pleasing God, being obedient to Him and living through God’s word and drawing others closer to Him as well.
-
Okay, going to sound like a cop out answer, but to me these three are inseparable. I can not grow in God without knowing and loving Him and to serve Him teaches me both of the other ones. I guess knowing Him is the first one we need to do, so we can decide to love and serve Him.
-
First, I want to know God. Then I want to love God and draw closer to Him. Next, I want to serve God with all my heart so that I can be available to be someone’s answered prayer.
-
Spending time reading, studying, with God in my quiet time with Him and in prayer and worship. Then put into practice what he speaks to my heart by meditating or thinking / speaking / memorizing scriptures. Then be a light or share with others giving myself to Gods goodness and be that example. Live the reality of my being born again.
