“The Lord Jesus is always seen through the eye of need.

He is presented to us in the Scriptures not for our academic contemplation and delight,

but for our desperate need as sinners and weaklings.

The acknowledgement of need and the confession of sin, therefore, is ever the first step in seeing Jesus.”

Roy Hession, We Would See Jesus (1958), 23

‘God’s Word is not for your

Information but for your

Transformation.’”

Keith Shubert, East Asia School of Theology, Singapore

John 5:39-40

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them

you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,

yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.”

“When the Bible is primarily seen as a depository of divine principles for life, it fundamentally changes the way we engage God and his Word. Rather than a vehicle for knowing God and fostering our communion with him, we search the Scriptures for applicable principles that we may employ to control our world and life.

“This is NOT Christianity; this is Christian deism. In other words, we actually replace a relationship with God for a relationship with the Bible. If one has the repair manual, why bother with the expense of a mechanic?”

Skye Jethani, With, (2100), 50-51

The Bible is a tool, a personal invitation,

to meet, to know, and to love its AUTHOR!
