He used the Scriptures to reason with the people. They searched the scriptures day after day. – Acts 17:2, 11(NLT)
BENEFITS OF SCRIPTURES
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you want to be free from bondage
Use Scriptures so you can be at an advantage
God’s word brings truth and wisdom
It keeps us away from lies and bring freedom.
The apostles used Scriptures to reason with people
They know that the word of God is always useful
Seek it daily and you will have wisdom and understanding
Search the truth from Scriptures, it will keep you growing.

The word of God is alive. It is not like any other philosophy or saying. In fact, many wise sayings originate from the word of God. I was amazed that even before I read the bible, I was given revelations about some truth. I didn’t even know that time that as soon as I accepted Christ in my life, I had the Holy Spirit dwelling inside my heart. It was God’s spirit who led me to truth but when I read Scriptures, all of the wisdom came flowing out of my mind and heart. God is the source of all knowledge. He alone is all-knowing and all-seeing. Scriptures is God-breathed, so it is powerful. It can make people see whatever it is that keeps them in bondage. The word of God can reveal something that no human words can ever do.
