They are a great source of inspiration and knowledge to me. I also love the way I feel when I study them.
It is through them that I hear the words of God as recorded by his servants the prophets and apostles.
By reading the scriptures I can say that God has spoken to me. Not directly... but indirectly. I hear his words through the pen of others, but not only that I feel his words confirmed as I read.
The scriptures differ from other books in that there is much more there than meets the eye at first glance or casual reading. When truly srearching the scriptures one is able to discern and understand, via the Holy Spirit, more than what is simply on the written page. Insights flow freely into the mind. It is at times like these that one truly feels the power of the scriptures.
Jesus taught:
"Search the scriptures."
—John 5:39
The scriptures contain the word of God, relayed to us through inspired servants. As we study the scriptures, we grow closer to God and gain a clearer vision of our purpose on earth.
