Hello Pastor Ruben,

Thank you for your thoughtful reflection on the role of Scripture in shaping our faith and obedience. Your reference to “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) is a powerful reminder that the Word of God is divinely inspired and serves as our ultimate guide for spiritual growth. It equips believers to stand firm in truth and walk in righteousness, shaping every aspect of our lives to align with God’s will.

Another verse that deepens this discussion is “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). This passage emphasizes the illuminating power of Scripture, guiding believers through the uncertainties and challenges of life. It reassures us that God’s Word provides clarity and direction, ensuring that no matter how dark the road may seem, His truth will always lead us forward. When we remain rooted in Scripture, we receive wisdom, strength, and encouragement to navigate both trials and triumphs with faith.

You asked: “How do you encourage others in your church to develop a consistent Bible study habit, especially when life gets busy?” One impactful way to foster regular engagement with Scripture is through communal accountability—small group studies, devotionals, and digital resources can help believers stay connected to God’s Word. Encouraging individuals to weave Scripture into their daily routines, whether through morning reflections, journaling, or listening to audio Bibles, allows spiritual growth to remain a priority. Even in the busiest seasons, anchoring oneself in God’s Word ensures that His presence and guidance remain at the forefront of our lives.

How has Scripture personally shaped your walk with Christ in times of uncertainty, and how can we better create an environment where every believer feels encouraged to pursue deeper knowledge of God’s Word?

Blessings, Pastor Jeffrey
