“Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in
your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.” (Colossians 3:16 NRSV)
God has communicated to men and women
through His Word -- the Bible. The Bible is the final authority in all matters
of faith and conduct. Through the Scriptures you can get to know God better,
understand His desire for your life, and discover new truths about living for
Him. God commands believers to let His Word dwell richly in them. So it is
necessary to give yourself wholeheartedly to allowing God’s Word to fill your
life. God places great emphasis on the act of meditating on His Word because effective
meditation leads to understanding and personal application. Meditation and
application will not only help you get into the Bible, but will also allow the
Bible to get into you.

Discipleship to Strengthen Your Walk with God”
