Through the Word: Knowing God, Making Him KnownSample

The Importance of the Bible to Hear God’s Voice:

God chooses to speak to us in many ways, but one of the most reliable and powerful ways He communicates is through the Bible. God will never say anything that contradicts His Word—this is the firm foundation for all His messages to us. The Bible is His primary and unchanging voice to every person.

The Bible is made up of 66 books, written by more than 40 authors across three continents over thousands of years, yet it tells one unified story: the story of who God is and what He has done for us. Think of these 66 books as love letters from God to you—each one revealing the heart of the One who deeply loves you. Just as in any relationship, where both people desire to know each other intimately, God longs for you to know Him and for you to understand His love and faithfulness through His Word. The Bible is sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating deeply into our hearts and souls. When you read it, the Holy Spirit speaks through the Scriptures, revealing truth and transforming your life.

As you continue in this Bible reading plan, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and mind. Let Him guide you into a deeper understanding of God’s truth and draw you closer to the One who desires to speak to you through His Word.
